Office 2007 changes dont stick??

Having an issue with Office 2007.

Trying to get it to default to 2003 settings. I set new docs to use 2003 setup in the advanced menu and set 2003 mode as the default style but every time I restart 2007 it reverts back to 2007 settings for everything but the font.

Is this a bug or a value add feature? Is there a fix?

I always had to use the Save As and choose 2003 doc.

Just a question, buy why do you need to still save as 2003, is it because of propietary excel spreadsheets?

Its not so much saving it as 2003 but the users are used to 2003/XP/2000/97 document and font layouts rather than MS's choice of new fonts, spacings and setting up styles to default to scientific papers.

Not too good for business users that require a certain format.

So they are trying to get rid of double spacing, 12pt fonts etc.

However, when we try setting 2007 to 2003 settings in the advanced options and elsewhere it just either ignores it or puts it back to 2007 when restarted.

Searched on the web and it appears a common problem.

Classic case of MS thinks it knows best.
