Default "Send As" add-in for Word?

That is actually a really bad idea. Saving a document in a different format
tends to slightly alter the layout of the document. After all, each format
has its own set of unique features not supported by other formats. Blindly
saving the document and sending it without verifying the layout might leave
you very embarrassed one day.

Open Office has a really good feature in that you can do a "Send As" a
Microsoft Word 97-2003 document with no reference to the format of the
document that is being edited.
This would be a really good feature for Office 2007 and upwards because it
doesn't affect the base document format at all.
This means that (for example) I can open a docx document and do a "Send
As" .doc document without having to do a "Save As" first.

Does anyone know of an add-in that could replicate such a feature?
