Re: Why is my word 2003 saving as word 97? confused 31.07.2006 14:43:02 Yes I know. I have documents that I have been working on for months that include pictures and word art, and lately when I go to save it brings up a message saying that "Some of the featues in this document aren't supported by Microsoft Word 97" and "Nested table cells will be lost. Cell contents will be seperated by tabs. Text color will become the nearest supported color". Why is this coming up?

Re: Why is my word 2003 saving as word 97? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 31.07.2006 14:52:51 Because you have checked "Disable features introduced after Microsoft Word 97" on the Save tab of Tools | Options.

Re: Why is my word 2003 saving as word 97? "Beth Melton" <bmelton[ at ]NoSpam4Memvps.org> 31.07.2006 15:08:30 Ah! Thanks for the full message - that's always helpful. :-) To correct this issue go to Tools/Options/Save and turn off "Disable features introduced after Word 97". While the file formats are the same there are a few features, such as nested tables and additional font colors, that weren't available in Word 97.
