The Word 97 icon, on my desktop, still opens and produces the Word 97 application. In it, I can access all Word documents and open them in Word 97, as always.

But, in the My Documents folder, on the desktop, all the existing documents in all the folders, or by themselves, have now been changed to Word 2000.
What a pain!

There is a way to assure that, when someone sends me a Word document, as a download, when I upload it, it will be forced into Word 97 and NOT Word 2000. Someone did that for me, but I seem to have lost that feature, and, in the process, my Word documents, in MY Documents, have been "transformed" or "converted."

Any help will be much appreciated.
