Office 2007 - Saving Files in Office 2003 Format? Charliec <charliec[ at ]invalid.address.com> 6/19/2007 1:56:20 AM I'm installing Office 2007 Small Business, but most of the people I share files with will remain on Office 2003 for awhile. Is there a way in Office 2007 to have the various programs default to saving the file in Office 2003 format? Thanks for any suggestions.

This will just change the default save format for Excel. You also need to do the same in each of the Office applications.

Thanks for the replies. One other question - I would like my default font to be Time New Roman / 12 in Word. How does one change the default font in Word 2007. I looked thru the book that can with Office and looked thru the Options in Word, but could not seem to fine it. Thanks for any insights.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S (Styles task pane--or, click the launcher in the Styles section of the Home tab). 2.

Re: Office 2007 - Saving Files in Office 2003 Format? "Per-Torben Sørensen" <mspts[ at ]ventelo.net> 6/20/2007 6:26:38 AM Is there a way to enforce this as we need to roll this out to a network with 200+ clients? A policy or another setting that either sets default save as 2003-mode or prevents users from saving in the new format all together? Any help appriciated!
