Word 2007 Template
Word 2003
Word 2007 I use Word 2003 at work, and Word 2007 at home. When doing work related stuff at home, I want to make sure that the file gets saved in the Word 2003 format for compatibility at the office. I generally don't use any features specific to Word 2007 when I do work related stuff on my home PC, so I really don't lose anything when I save in the Word 2003 format. If I wanted to create a template for Word 2007 that would automatically save documents in the Word 2003 format, would I need to use a macro, or is there some other way do it? --Tom |

Word 2007 Template
You don't need to create a template. You can make Word 2007
automatically save files in the older Word 97-2003 .doc format by clicking on Office Button | Word Options | Save | Save files in this format: Word 97-2003 format | OK.

Word 2007 Template
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I want my personal documents to be saved in Word
2007 format, and my work documents to be saved in Word 2003 format. I know that you can set that option, but then it applies to ALL documents. I really want it to apply to just my work documents. The reason I want this to happen automatically is because I've had some instances where I forgot to do it manually, and then when I got to work I was unable to open the file. So if I'm using Word 2007 as home for a personal document it should save in the Word 2007 format. If I'm using Word 2007 at home for a work document it should save in Word 2003 format so that it will be compatible with the version of Word that I have at the office. The only way that I can think of to do that is to create a template that I would use for all work documents that would contain coding to intercept the Save command and always save the file as in the Word 2003 format. I guess the real crux of the question is that if I use a template, would I need to code the macros to make it work the way that I want, or can the option that you cited be set at the template level so that it would apply to only that template (negating the need to code the solution)? --Tom "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote in message ...
