you just need to change the file type from .docx to .doc.

i.e,

At the bottom of the window, when you click save, you will see that is says File name: Doc1.docx, and Save as type: Word Document (*.docx) Click on the drop down arrow for the Save as type and select Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)

This will work on all office 2007 products such excel, etc. - example: Excel 97-2003 Document (*.xls) etc.

they have made it backwards compatible, they just didn't tell anybody how to do it...stupid Micro S*** people....(no offense to anyone that works at MS)

if you want an even quicker way. Right click over the file that you've saved in 2007, see the end with the extension:

.docx

just backspace that sucker and save it again. It should work, 99% of the time.

What I usually do is make a copy of it, then I have it in both formats that I name them, moi_is_an_idiot_2003.doc, moi_is_an_idiot_2007.docx cause some of my clients can't read some of the other ones....
