Changing Microsoft Word 2007 default save format

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

I'm sure you've been annoyed with Microsoft Word 2007 saving files in the new format, ".docx"

Here's a quick guide to show you how to change the default save format form a ".docx" back to a ".doc":

  1. Click the “ Office Button ” located in the top left of Microsoft Word, then at the bottom of this list you will see the option “Word Options”
  2. A new window will open. In the left hand panel click the "Save" option
  3. Change the option from “save files in this format” from ".docx" to ".doc"
  4. Click OK and stop worrying about compatability issues.
