Word 2003, "not compatible with word 97" upon save

[AfterDune]

Here's the deal;

I'm using Word 2003 and am working on some document. When I save the document, Word says some things are not compatible with Word 97.

Errrr, who cares? I certainly don't, so want to get rid of messages about incompatibility with Word 97, 'cause Word keeps popping up that message every time I save. There's no "ignore" checkbox or anything and can't find it in the settings.

Cheers,

I don't use word anymore (OOo ftw) but from what I remember is that you can select, in the save-as dialog, the file type (extension) from a drop down list. I think it will show .doc multiple times with in brakets for which word versions they are optimized. Select the one for your version.


Edit: Else sometimes shift and left-click on a dialog button makes it remember that choice.

I _am_ saving it as a Word 2003 .doc document, but it just gives this annoying "notify message" whenever I save it. Oh well, guess we just have to live with it... Weird Word.

How about this:
Weird nested tables problem

Some setting in Tools>Options>Compatibility.

GO to microsoft download website and find the compatibility pack for Word 2003.
It'll permanently fix your problem.

How about installing it from a flash drive?

Not allowed to write to the C-drive, where Office is installed, except temp-dirs .

Office PC, must be using XP?

Meh, it's not _that_ big of a deal. It's only one Word-document that gives me the message every time I save. I just hoped I could get rid of it by selecting or deselecting some checkboxes here and there.
