How to disable unnecessary notifications when saving docx to Word

I use Word 2003, and have no intention of changing as I dislike the ribbon. 

I recently installed my Word 2003 on a Windows 7 PC and find that whenever I need to save a docx document, I get the following warning message

''name.docx may contain features that are not compatible with Word 2007 Document format.  Do you want to save the document in this format?""

The answer is of course "Ýes" but I would prefer not to be asked this question every single time I save, which is tens of times per hour. 
How to disable this notification?
You could use a macro to intercept the SaveAs command e.g.

Sub FileSaveAs()
On Error Resume Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
Application.DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsAll
End Sub
