Word 2007 - Working in Compatibility Mode
If you will be using any fancy Word 2007 features (see the previous post for a listing), and sharing your Word files with users of Word 2003 or earlier versions, you should consider working in compatibility mode,
Compatibility mode ensures that content created in 2007 can be opened/editing in 2003. For example, when you choose “Insert SmartArt” in compatibility mode, the 2003 diagramming tool appears. (When not in compatibility mode, the content created by the 2007 SmartArt diagramming tool will not be fully editable in Word 2003).
Compatibility mode limits some features of 2007. Compatibility mode is automatically enabled when your open a *.doc file. (The words “Compatibility Mode” display in Word’s title bar.) You can switch from compatibility mode to full functionality for any document by selecting Convert from the Office Start Button.
