Can't save older file / Compatability Report

I have some older files created with Word 6.0/95 versions on a PC and
when I open them, modify them and try to save them, they won't save
without changing the name. I tried trying turning off the "check
documents for compatibility" button, but it still won't let me save
them.

I haven't had anything running Word 6.0 in years, and will never try to
open them in that format again, but why can't I get the Mac to just
over-write to a new file format?

The "help" files and explainations of the "compatability report" are as
unhelpful as I have come to expect from Microsquish, therefore I am
going to the real experts, the users.

Thanks.
