Although I have not yet encountered the problem (my Word 2007 is too new)
I have read that the Doc form (Word 97-2003) created by Word 2007 is not a
pure Word 97-2003 doc and sometimes can still not be opened by an earlier
Word. The recommended work-around has suggested is to save as rtf in those
cases. Has there been a solution for this?

The problem you describe is probably that at
http://www.gmayor.com/Problems_opening_2007_docs.htm
Now that I think further about it, I believe what I heard is not about
opening Docx files in earlier Word versions, but in opening files saved
as "Word 95-2003 files" (by Word 2007) having trouble in earlier Word
versions. It seems that these Word 95-2003 doc files produced by Word
2007 still contain some xml code that can cause problems.
As I said I have not encountered the problem myself but am concerned and
trying to avoid problems since I send a lot of Word files to various
people who do not have Word 2007 and am trying to figure out the best
way to do it.
