Barbara, You're right, there isn't, but you can use keystrokes as if there were: Alt, T, O, S will open the Options dialogue and put you on the Save page, and you can then Tab to a combo where you can change the default save format.

From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: 13 March 2008 16:51 To: jaws-uk Subject: [jaws-uk] MS Word 2007 Hi All I have recently upgraded to Office 2007 and am using Word 2007. When I save a document with the defaults, it is not viewable using earlier versions of Word. It appears with the file extension ".docx". I can save it as a Word 97-2003 document, but is there another way around this? Why is it given the file extension of .docx? Can anyone help me on this one?
