How to change Office2007 file format for all users

[Starrett]

I have 76 new OEM laptops with Office2007 installed.
I do NOT have Active Directory.
I cannot run the OCT: setup.exe /admin - because it doesn't work. "Feature
not available."
I need to change all these laptop file formats to <=2003 file save format.
I need a script to edit the registry for ALL profiles to make the default
save format the older 97-2003 file type.
What keys need to be modified for Word, Excel, & PowerPoint for this to
happen.
Thanks

What is it you have in place then?

I cannot run the OCT: setup.exe /admin - because it doesn't work. "Feature
not available." yep, OEM

What about copying the .adm files from the office2007 ORK & using
gpedit.msc, perhaps after that export the registry entry & import it to the
rest of the computers (in whichever fashion you are able to)? Perhaps a run
once task that runs whenever a new person logs into the laptop that sets the
registry entries as well?

Not sure about that exact registry entry, you could use regmon while
changing the default "saveas" in winword to see though.
