Change the default Office 2007 layout?

I understand what you are trying to do. But unfortunately it applies only to this document. I know of no other setting where you can do that permanently.

Click the office button in the upper left corner and select word options. In the menu select Save. The options displayed can be changed to save documents as Word 97-2003 Format. Choose this and it will save as Doc for Office 2003.

I am not sure whether that is the same thing, but you can try that. I would make a .doc in lieu of a .docx all the time. But you can also select that with "save as" when you go to "save as type".

Yes, I know the layout option will change to the 2003 layout but I have to save it. For this to happen. When I save it in a 2003 doc, it changes to compatability mode, which makes it so the pictures move only showing the outline. Can't I make Word startup in 2003 compatability mode, or get the layout to change to 2003 compatability mode- WITHOUT saving the document? Isn't there a registry tweak or something?

Any ideas?

Bump.

Q: Can I move pictures in outline view in PowerPoint 2007 somehow- I don't think you can, but does someone know?

Yes you can. Once you have the picture in Word, right click on it and Copy. That will put it on the clipboard. Then open PowerPoint (leave Word open), open the clipboard in the Home tab (see picture) and paste it to a PP page. If you have more than 1 item, you can also paste them individually.

Thanks
