Hi Patrick,
The Word 2007 default file format setting is in
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\Options\DefaultFormat
However, if you're going to be doing a rollout of Office you can set that using the Office 2007 Customization tool and the
information in the Office 2007 Resource Kit.

Using that default setting (and there are related ones that are stored in the Word binary \Data key at the same location and a
couple of policies you may want to look at. Limiting to the Word 2003 format will turn off some of the newer features of Word 2007.

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.
