In Microsoft Word 2007 (and presumably in other MS Office applications) the default file format reverts to docx every time the program is started. How can I change this?

Hi Simon, Thanks for the post, in answer to your question, Word 2007 will save by default to the .docx extension, if you want to change this follow these steps; Click the Office button and click the button Word Options at the bottom of the dialog box, in the dialog box that opens click the Save option, in the dialog box that then opens click the drop down Save Files in this format: and from the drop down choose the file type you wish to have as your default extension. I hope that helps best regards Pete

Thanks Pete,
I've done this, but each time I open Word it has reverted again back to .docx

Microsoft office tip:

Automated backup with Recovery Pane.

If you ever have a serious error with Office 2003, there is a backup of the work that appears in the Recovery Pane when the application stats up again. You can choose to delete or save the files so that you can spend more time on creating documents, not recreating them.
