Windows 8 Compatibility Issues for Microsoft Office 2007

I got a new Windows 8 laptop about a little over a year ago and loaded up my Office 2007 version to it. Since then I've had a ton of problems, including the fact that auto-save doesn't work at all, which causes a LOT of problems for me.

I heard there was a compatibility download that you can purchase and all I can find online is just buying the software completely new, and I don't want to do that. 

Do you know where I can download/buy that compatibility for Office 2007 (purchased IN the year 2007) for my Windows 8 laptop?

Thanks!

Don't believe what you have heard, Office 2007 is fully compatible with win8

Have all Important updates been installed? some will be Office 2007 specific.

Has any preinstalled Office trial been uninstalled?

Each Office component has its own auto-save and backup option, which component is giving the problem?

It's Microsoft Word in particular (that's the one used the most anyway) that is giving the most trouble, and yes, all previous trial versions were removed prior to this! The only thing not installed is the Windows 8.1 update. But aside from that, all have been updated!
