Click on the MS Office ICON, the strange Windows ICON in the upper left,
select SAVE AS, then select the TOOLS button in the lower left, then
select SAVE OPTIONS, now you can pick "Save files in this format" and
select the one you want.

It will use that method from then on - same for Excel and others.
