Default Office 07 opening older versions in compatibility mode-min/maximiz

Hello,

I am running Office 2007 at our office. I have set all computers to default
save as Office 97-2003 (comp. mode). When we A.) open attachments of previous
versions to 2007 or B.) open a document regular, as long as Excel is not
already open, it opens, HANGS FOREVER.

The only workaround, as annoying as it is, is to minimize the Excel window
and maximize it. When you do that, BANG, it opens. If you don't, it sits
there for decades. It's like it is loading the data just fine, but it just
can't render it to the screen, and the window alteration is what triggers
this. Looks like a bug to me!

Anybody know any fixes for this? My users don't like it, even though there
is a workaround, and I don't blame them!

Thanks in advance,
Eric D.
