I have no idea what "document management" program you're using or why, but
the extensions .xlsx and .docx are the standard extensions in Excel and Word
in Office 2007. So I would imagine that's why your document management
program is using those. You'd have to find out how to get your document
management program to save with the older .xls and .doc extensions. Since
you don't state what document management program you're using, it's
difficult for someone here to advise you. This is an Excel newsgroup. It's
only by chance that someone here might be familiar with your document
management program.

I have a document management program that I use that will only save based
on
file types. In order for other people who have older versions of Office
to
be able to work with a file I save, I need to identify the old file
extension. (Yes, I know I can save to an xls file in Office 2007, but that
is
not the issues here.) The program gives me a choice of file extensions
such
as *.xlsx and *.docx and *.pdf.

Prior to installing Office 2007, it gave me the option of saving to *.doc
and *.xls. It does not do so anymore. I found out that if one also has
an
old version of office on the machine, the document management program will
recognize *.doc and *.xls extension.

There seems to be some sort of a registry or similar issue here. Anyone
know how to solve this?
