Block saving of Word 2003 XML file types

This policy setting controls whether Word 2007 documents can be saved in the XML format used by Word 2003.

If you enable this policy setting, Word 2007 users will not be able to save files in the Word 2003 WordprocessingML format.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Word 2007 users can save files in the WordprocessingML file format introduced with Microsoft Office Word 2003. WordprocessingML documents have a .xml extension.

Note - See Plan block file format settings in the 2007 Office system (http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidGroupPolicyBlockFileForm2?clid=en-us) in the 2007 Office Resource Kit for more information about using Group Policy to manage and enforce file format requirements. Also, see the "File Block Technology" section in Chapter 4 of the 2007 Microsoft Office Security Guide for information about the Microsoft Office Isolated Conversion Environment (MOICE), which provides another method.
