Larry,
1. You need to first have an application of an older version of
Word(97-2003), installed on your PC. If you don't, then you can not do what
you wish.
2. If you do have an older version of Word installed, then you will have to
create a shortcut that will start that version of Word, and "Pin" it to the
start menu.

As I explained, I have successfully used that options/save feature to set
Word to save all documents in the Word 97-2003 file type. And that works
for creating new documents within Word. That's not the issue here.
The issue is creating a new document from the New menu in a Windows folder.
When I do that, the new document is a 2007 file type.
