Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / July 2008R-click create new Word doc (not docx)
Using WinXP Home SP2 with Office 2007. When I r-click on my desktop and choose New | New Microsoft Office Word Document, it creates a .docx document by default. I would rather it create a 97-2003 compatible .doc instead. How do I do this?

By the way, what if I want to remove it at a later stage - how do I go about doing that? And, is it possibel to only have the 97-2003 version when r-clicking and *not* 2007 version? > Add Word 97 - 2003 entry to the New menu after installing Word 2007: > http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/add-word-97-2003-entry-to-the-new-menu-after-i nstalling-word-2007/ Thanks so much!

Much appreciated! :-) Excuse my "newness" to tweaking things like these r-click new options, but what the regedit entries be for: Excel, Access and the other office apps? Would you mind adding options for 97-2003 and 2007 for each of the office apps. I might like using just Word and Excel, but someone might like Word and Access. Thanks!!!

Again, thank you very much, Ramesh. Hello. Genuinely nice try -- as far as it goes. I don't know if what is you are suggesting is available on my machine, but I sure can't find it -- and I don't have the time to look for it now. The flip side is that I do know that there is a work-around for it, which is no doubt available on all WinVista machines. I open a new (blank) document and let it load as a *.docx. When the blank screen comes up, I immediately save it as a *.doc (MSWord97/2003) document. I say "immediately" because I have had problems with MSWord2002 locking up and crashing if I don't. I hope this helps.
