Where is the Word 2007 compatibility mode check box?
Office button - Word Options - Save tab; set Save files in this format to
Word 97-2003 (*.doc) format. There are additional and more precise compatibility settings in the Advanced tab, near the bottom. But, I suspect that you want the more general one. Another option you might be referring to can be found by clicking Office button - Prepare - Run Compatibility Checker. In the resulting box, there is an option to Check compatibility when saving in Word 97-2003 formats. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "CinderCat" wrote in message ...

Thanks.
I stumble on this yesterday (your first suggestion), after posting. However, while it worked in all documents I created yesterday, when I logged on today (after shutting down and rebooting), settings were back to 2007. It's no biggie as long as I remember to fix in any documents I save; however, I have stumbled across some templates (for journal article submissions) that say this is not good enough (that the button has to be turned on). Any idea why rebooting would have reset it to 2007? "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Office button - Word Options - Save tab; set Save files in this format to Word 97-2003 (*.doc) format.

When settings don't "stick," the registry key where the setting is stored
might be damage. Among other things, this article describes how to rename Word Data key in the registry. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm If you're comfortable editing the registry, the one I would try renaming (with Word closed) is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord A corrupted Normal.dotm can also cause related problems, but I try that as a next step rather than the first step. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "CinderCat" wrote in message ...
