Office 2003 Save As default is coming up with only Office 2007 file extensions

Asked by iburke666 in Microsoft Office Suite, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Microsoft Word

Tags: , ,

I am running Windows XP Pro with SP2 and Office 2003.  I have also installed the Office 2007 Compatibilty Pack a few months back.  Just recently I noticed that if I select any .doc, .xls or .ppt file on my computer, right-click the file name (file.doc, file.xls, file.ppt) and select "Save As..." that I am only give Office 2007 file extension options......docm or .docx, .xlsm or .xlsb, or .xlsx...etc.  However, if I open up the file in Office 2003, I can select "Save As" and am given many options including .doc which I would expect.   Does anyone know how this happens.  This is happening on 200 computers and none of them have Office 2007 installed on them.  I'm wondering if a recent WSUS update caused this.   Start Free Trial
