The figure below shows how compatibility mode affects the availability of certain commands. Because the top document is open in Compatibility View, only the commands available in Word 2007 are active.
To leave Compatibility Mode, you must convert the document to a format that matches the current version of Microsoft Word. However, if you’re working with users of other versions of Word, it’s a good idea to leave the document in compatibility mode so that the file format doesn’t change.
For more information about which features are disabled in compatibility mode, see the Microsoft website.
