Word 2010 default file type issue.

I have some software that automatically merges a document to Word and saves it in a specific location however it needs to save it as a .doc format and not a .docx format.

Easy enough I thought when I upgraded to a new laptop with Office 2010 installed, go into Word options and change the default save file type to "Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc)” and everything would be good to go however once I have done that Word still tries to save the file as a .docx format. I have tried changing it back to .docx and then back to .doc default options and restarting but it always tries to save as a .docx file.

Is there something else I could look at? Perhaps in the registry?

Thanks.
