How to Get out of Compatibility Mode on Microsoft Word
1. Run the Microsoft Word program and open the document that was created using a previous version of Word.
2. Click the 'File' tab in the upper-left corner of the program window to display a toolbar with Microsoft Word options. The toolbar will appear on the left side of your screen.
3. Click the 'Info' tab on the left side of the program window. Document information and options will appear in the center of the screen.
4. Click the Convert button to save the file in Word 2010 format.
5. Click OK when you're prompted to convert the document. Word will convert the file and save it with the Word 2007/2010 extension .DOCX. Upon conversion, Word will exit Compatibility Mode and will operate with all functions available.
