Default Change Word 2007 default file format?

Does anyone know the physical location of the setting? Either registry key
or configuration file. I need to write a script to run on 2007 users'
laptops so we won't run into .docx vs. .doc compatability issues. Our launch
of office 2007 is still a few months away and in the mean time we're trying
to avoid any headaches.

Hi Bill,

Coincidentally, I just posted about this last night:

Check out the second paragraph under "Option 2."

I hope this helps,

Doug

Is there a way to change the default Word 2007 file format to .doc instead of
.docx? I need to share my documents with people who use Word 2003 and
previous versions, and I would rather not have to do Save As each time.
