Word 2007, save as .doc default?

I have Office 2007 on my machine, all my friends have legacy Office
installations on theirs. Is it possible to have Word 2007 save .doc as
default rather than .docx? Thanks

Yes. Click your Office Button, select Word Options, and then select the Save
tab. Change "Save files in this format". Select the .doc format from the
combo box.

I would also encourage your friends to install the compatibility pack since
that will allow them to read the .docx files incase someone else sends them
to them. (

Education is a life long process that never ends...

Many of the things people are learning now will be obsolete in 2 years.
