Answer» Bill GATES you make enough money!!!!! I have Word 2007, only becuase it CAME with my new computer, and the issue I have is the following: after you create a word document if you save it as you used to with previous versions of Word it will save it in the following format: gates_sucks.docx this is no problem until you want to attach or send the document to someone with an earlier version of Word. It is unreadable!!!! What I have found I must do, to practically all my documents, is: save as Word 2000-2003 and then give the document a name. Double the work!! It then has saved the document in the following form gates_suck.doc. Now everyone can read it. Is there another way to save this document without saving as first and then NAMING the document.
I don't understand the problem. As far as I can see the procedure for saving a document is the same whether you choose docx or doc as the format. You always have to choose a name for a document when you save it for the first TIME... have I misunderstood the question?First you must save the document as word 2000-2003 then give the document a title, as OPPOSED to just naming the document when you have hit the save icon.Quote from: wildwood on November 16, 2007, 07:08:33 PM First you must save the document as word 2000-2003 then give the document a title, as opposed to just naming the document when you have hit the save icon.
That doesn't make sense. You're saying you save the document and THEN name it later. Hmmm, so you save it first without a name?
Let's make this more clear by restating the real issue, which is that you have to choose the Word 2000-2003 format for saving, rather than accepting the default format for Word 2007 and that's an extra step. That's the point here, right?
Here's what you need to do: Change Word 2007 Default Saving Format to Compatibility Mode
