- Jun 04, 2019 If you use Group Policy, you can use the Set default compatibility mode on file creation policy setting to manage the default compatibility mode that Word uses to create new Word documents.

- Jan 27, 2012 Compatibility mode simply means that the files are not saved in the native mode of the application. If the files will open normally when you change the filename to doc from docx, it suggests that the 'converter' has not saved them to docx format but has simply renamed them.
On the File menu, click Save As. On the Format pop-up menu, click Word Document (.docx). If you are using Word for Mac 2011, make sure that the Maintain compatibility with Word 98-2004 check box is clear. Solution: Work in compatibility mode. You can work in compatibility mode or you can convert your document to the Word 2011 file format. When you save in the Word 2011 format, the document layout appears as if it were created in Word 2011 and the file format changes from.doc to.docx. In this format, you can access the new and improved features in Word 2011. I have a number of word files in both.doc and.docx format. Does anyone know if there might be any problems opening these kind of files and, equally important, preserve the formatting and styles on a mac? I will be using Microsoft word on the mac.
