MS Office 2007 (Excel, Powerpoint, Word): Auto-save in 'Compatibility Mode'
Compatibility Mode - A mode where MS Office 2007 (Excel, Powerpoint, Word) files save in a format compatible with previous versions of Office.
To be more specific, they save in the old extension format (.xls, .doc, .ppt).
Follow these steps to setup your Excel, Powerpoint, & Word to auto-save in compatibility mode.
**Note: Although Excel is shown in the pictures below, the process is the same for all three programs (Excel, Powerpoint, Word).

An Options dialog box should have came up. On the left side of the dialog you should see a list of options. Click on Save under the list. Some settings should appear on the right after that. Where it says Save files in this format:, select the option that relates to 97-2003.
Excel: Excel 97-2003 workbook (*.xls)
