Why Document goes in Compatibility Mode and how to get out of it?
I have seen so many people asking about compatibility mode in various forums. There are lots of questions and confusion about compatibility mode like why title bar show compatibility mode, how to get out of it and the list goes on. So here I am putting an end to this confusion. Let’s discuss it from scratch. Very few people know that before the release of MS Word 2007 .doc file extension were used while saving documents but now the latest versions of MS Word has incorporated the new Office Open XML format, indic ated by the file extension .docx. This new format is not fully backwards compatible with earlier versions of MS Word; therefore a new feature known as compatibility mode was added to new versions of Word so that people who are using previous version can easily share documents.
