Cannot save a Word 2003 Doc to Word 2007 docx full mode
The following post asks my question, but doesn't answer it
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...a676da5f768d0f When I open a Word 2003 document in Word 2007 and choose "Save As" Word document, it converts it to a .DOCX but it says "Compatibility Mode" at the top. I realize it is supposed to do this if I have checked the 97-2003 button at the bottom of the Save As dialog box, but my button is unchecked. Therefore, it should be saving the document to a .DOCX without the "compatibility mode". But it isn't. I've checked all of my settings, and this is a fresh install of Word 2007, with all of the Office updates. Now, I realize that I can use the "Convert" button, but according to the the Word 2007 Microsoft Word team blogs (below), I should be able to do both. Besides, sometimes I may want to save as .DOCX and leave the original document in .DOC format. (Whereas if I use "Convert" I won't be able to do this). According to the following blogs, I should be able to do it either way - "Save As" or "Convert": (Specifically Part III talks about this) Part I http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...27/774611.aspx Part II http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi..._-Part-II.aspx Part III http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...-Part-III.aspx Part IV http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...7-part-iv.aspx Any help you can provide here would be much appreciated. Thanks, Alex |
