How to disable the annoying compatibility warnings in Excel?

Hi Experts,

Every time a user edits a CVS or 2003-2007 Excel file it gives a warning that it will be saved in compatibility mode.

The client has requested we disable the 'Compatibility mode pop-up', since all their users operate on 2010 any way

Is there any way to achieve this using office 2010 gpo's?

True i could force them to be saved as .xlsx, but they have a few macro enabled spread sheets. Wont that break them since they need to be saved as .xlsm?

I wasn't sure if that openDocument format suppression was applicable as the issue was with office 2007 documents?
That's true i am not sure if anybody has tested this in live Env. you can check it out creating this policy and apply it only for 1 machine and check it out result.
It would appear that, that fixed it :) cheers takecoffe
