Default Save Format not sticking in Word 2007/Vista
I have changed the default format to save documents to "Web Page, Filtered".
(Office Button--Word Options--Save--Save files in this format--Web Page, Filtered). When I create a new document, and save, it saves to this format correctly the first time. When I re-open a Web Page, filtered document, make changes, and save it again, it no longer saves it to Web Page, Filtered, but as a standard Web Page (and hence with all the proprietary MS Word formatting tags that I am trying to eliminate). This seems like a bug - what am I doing wrong? Is there a patch? Known bug? Workaround? Thanks, Bob |

It works as you wish ONLY when saving a newly created file. I'm pretty sure
that this is "Working as designed", although the option should be called "Save NEW files in this format" rather than "Save files in this format". A requirement for this to work as you want--as I understand it--is that Word would need filters for opening and saving a file in the target format. "HTML Filtered" is not a format Word can use in opening a document. If you set Word to Confirm file format conversion on open (Advanced options, General section), you'll see that it's opening the file using "HTML Document"--nothing about filtering. Hence, your only option to retain the Filtered state is to explicitly use Save As when resaving the file. You can make it more automatic by using a macro that explicitly does the desired Save As format. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bob Manjoney" wrote in message ...

Thanks, but... I availed myself of paid tech support and the assessment I
received today after it was escalated to the development team is that this is indeed a bug. I am waiting now till Tues/Wed as to whether or not a hotfix/patch will be in the pipeline. |
