If I’m working in LC 7.0+ the stack is saving with the new file format, and therefore won’t open in pre-7.0 versions of LiveCode. I though once a stack was saved in a legacy format, it would stay in that format. Is that not the case? Is there any way to prevent the file format change when saving a stack?

I think "the stackfileversion" global property will help here!

Do something like this:
...
## Save current stackfileversion value:
put the stackfileversion into tOldSFV

## See dictionary for other possible values
set the stackfileversion to "5.5"
save this stack

## Restore old value:
set the stackfileversion to tOldSFV
...
