Well, I fixed it. I don't understand why this mattered, but in case it will
help anyone else at some future time, here's what had "reverted" Word and
Excel to saving as Office 98 documents. A few weeks ago, I decided to
partition my hard drive, so that in case anything went wrong I wouldn't have
as big a problem (I'm starting to wonder if that was a mistake, but it's
done). I divided the HD into a system partition, an applications partition,
a documents partition and a partition for a duplicate of the system.
Everything seemed fine. Then this week I noticed that Excel had reverted to
saving as Excel 98. So had Word. I tried bunches of things. I re-read for
the umpteenth time the FAQ about this on the MS web site. One thing it
suggested was putting Office 2001 at the root of your "main" drive
(admittedly, this was if you had Office 98 installed as well, and I don't).
Hmmm, maybe Office needs to be on the System drive for some reason? Why, I
don't know. But when I copied it from the applications partition to the
system partition and restarted, I was back to having 2001 documents. It
doesn't make any sense to me, but OTOH, it works. Again, sorry to clutter up
this mailing list with a relatively unrelated question and thanks for your
suggestions.
