Symptoms
You cannot undo all the changes that you make to a document in Microsoft Office Word 2007. This behavior occurs when you perform one of the following actions:

You open a document from an earlier version of Microsoft Word, make some changes to the document, and then convert the document to Word 2007. To convert the document to Word 2007, click Convert on the Microsoft Office Button.
-
You first save a document in the Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc) format in Word 2007.
Notes

Workaround
To work around this behavior, perform one of the following actions as appropriate for your situation:
