Saving Office 2003 .rtf file in Office 2007

I began a document in Rich Text Format (in order to avoid all the extra stuff that Word inserts into a document otherwise) in Office 2003 on Win XP. I have now gotten a new computer that runs Windows 10. I have Office 2007 because I bought that for my laptop, which came with Vista.

Here is my issue. I'm not doing anything fancy in my document but every single time I want to save it, a dialog box opens that talks about losing a feature because it is not a a more Word-specific type of document. I like working in .rtf. It makes it much easier to copy from MS Word and, say, paste into a web page text box.

How can I keep this file a .rtf file but stop Word from asking this question every single time I do ctrl-s? Thanks.

Duncan
