When you make changes to it and save the document again, you will get a warning that using the ".doc" format might cause a loss of formatting. If you want to keep the ".doc" format you must ignore the warning and keep the current format. And in case you don't use any complicated formattings in your document the warning is kind of overeager anyway. When you want to save a copy of your working document in ".doc" format by using "save as...", you have to select the "Microsoft Word 97/XP/2003" format in the format listbox of the file save dialog.
