I think this should work. Create a macro:

Sub Sample()

Dim f As Integer
Dim fc As FileConverter

' First get the correct format number.
For Each fc In FileConverters
	If fc.FormatName = "Word 6.0/95" Then f = fc.SaveFormat
Next fc

'Now open the SaveAs dialog box:
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
	 .Format = f
	 .Show
End With

End Sub

Then you must assign this macro to the Save As menu option. Use Tools
| Customise, add the macro to the file menu just below Save As. Remove
Save As and rename the Macro menu item. 

If you have to do this for a lot of machines you could write another
macro to do the fiddling with menus.
