Thanks so much!
By the way, what if I want to remove it at a later stage - how do I go
about doing that? And, is it possibel to only have the 97-2003 version
when r-clicking and *not* 2007 version?

To remove the Word 97-2003 item from the New menu, follow the numbered
instructions in the article, except replace steps 3 and 4 with these:

3. Right-click the word Nullfile in the right-hand pane.
4. Choose Delete. Answer 'yes' to the 'Are you sure?' prompt.

I found that I have to open the New menu twice; the item is still there the
first time but is gone the second time.

To remove the Word 2007 item from the menu, again follow the numbered
instructions with the replaced steps, but work on the location

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.docx\Word.Document.12\ShellNew

(Although I don't really understand the compulsion to use Word 2007 but
force it to be Word 2003.)
