From: Kevin T. Kevin on 29 Dec 2009 09:47 Hello, Thanks for the forum. I am trying to save a document that has been created in word 2003. I believe it is initially a .RTF file and we want to then save it as a word 2000 .doc. Without going into much detail about why, we have noticed that the new 2003 files when converted from .RTF to .doc increase the size of the file muich more that 2000 did. One of our apps. do not like it. I really like the idea Graham provided for what I am trying to accomplish. However, I am not sure what I should change. I am guessing we need to make a change at the " wdFormatDocumentXX "?

The code that Graham provided was to allow a document to be saved in Word 97-2003 format regardless of whether the version of Word was 2007 (Version 12) or an earlier version . There is no difference in the file format of files created in any of the following versions and you cannot save a document in Word 2000 format as there is no such thing. Word 97 Word 2000 Word XP (2002) Word 2003 If you are using Word 2003, the command to save the document as a Word document (the format used for Word 97-2003) is ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="filename.doc", wdFormatDocument I do not know where the "initially a .RTF file" comes into the picture. However, if you did want to save in that format, you would use ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="filename.rtf", wdFormatRTF -- Hope this helps.
