Saving in WORD 2003

I know this subject has been up before but cannot find it.

I wish to save all my WP X3 documents as Word 2003 document files. As I have 
also changed into Settings, File.

But everytime I save it by keying Ctrl S, I am asked everytime if I want to 
save it as a "WP", "WORD 2003" or "Other"
document.

Is thefe a way to eliminate this [time consuming] element and just save it 
as a WORD doc in one go?

You lose a couple of options during Save because they are WP-specific.

I have set it this way (below), but it does not help. I still have through 
the whole rigmarole.

Bjorn,

After saving the document for the first time, you could resave it using 
a macro that consists of two lines:

vName = ?Name
FileSave(vName; WordForWindows12!; yes!)

The first line returns the document name and the second line saves it as 
a Word document, overwriting the original file without prompting you. 
The second line as given here will probably save the document as Word 
XP, so you will have to look up macro command help to find out which 
number to use for Word 2003. I suppose it will be 13 instead of 12 but I 
am not sure.

If this works for you, you could assign this macro to a keyboard combo 
like Ctrl+Alt+S so that you can save as Word without having to go 
through calling a macro.
