Displaying both Word 97-03 and .docx in "Save As"
I just switched from Office '03 to '07. All of my old documents are saved in
'03 format. I'm frustrated because when I click "save as," Word only displays the files that are in '07 format. As I choose a name for my new document, I want to be able to see all the other word files in that folder. When I choose "open file" it shows all types of Word docs - how can I get it to show them all when I click "save as"? |

You can't! Why should this create a problem?
It was not possible to do so in Word 2003 either. Only the document type of the format you are currently trying to save as will be displayed. If you want to see 97-2003 format documents listed, change the save-as file type to 97-2003 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Menifee Minister wrote: I just switched from Office '03 to '07.

Note that you can see all the files in a folder by clicking on the
Open button under the Office button. At the bottom is a dropdown where you choose which file format you want to see to be able to choose what to open, and the top one is "All Files." Cancel the Open panel and go back to Save As to change the name and/or format of your file. (As Graham says, even if the filename of a .doc is the same as the filename of a .docx, the .docx won't replace the .doc, it'll go in the folder alongside it.)

It's only a problem because when choosing a file name it's nice to quickly
see the other file names I've already used. I just wanted to check to make sure it wasn't possible, and you answered the question. Thank you. "Graham Mayor" wrote: You can't!
