// sorry for my english, i am spanish //

I work with Microsoft Outlook and OneNote. I put a lot of links to files
type *.doc and *.xls

In Office 2007, if i edit my old files (*.doc) and transfer to the new
format, the files save as (*.docm). Thats a BIG PROBLEM!!! All my links to
the original files LOST!!!

I need save the office 2007 files with extension *.doc (for example) and
with the news features of office 2007.

Is it possible?

Hi Maximo,

At some point you may want to start updating your link pointers, but for now, yes it is possible, but not recommended, by putting
the full name in quotes.

For example, when saving, choose the Word 2007 format and type in
"myfilename.doc"
