How do I make the Word 2007 default Doucment type a DOC not a DOCX?

Thanks

[Jay Freedman]

Click the round Office button (the File menu) and click Word Options
in the bottom edge of the menu. Click the Save tab, and set the "Save
files in this format" dropdown to "Word 97-2000 Document (*.doc)".

I did that BUT after closing and reopeining Word it keeps defaulting
back to DOCX instead of DOC!

This would indicate something outside Word is stopping normal.dotx from
being saved. Have you got the full Adobe Acrobat installed?

Yes I do! Also - what you suggested works for a while or until I
reboot my machine. Then the default goes back to DOCX.
Thanks

Get the updated macros from Adobe as they are inhibiting normal.dot from
saving changes, You can temporarily override the problem by using Shift+File
and selecting SaveAll when closing Word.
