MS Office Forum / Word / Conversions / July 2007How to Get Word 2007 to 'kick-in' to Compatibility Mode Automatically for New Docs
My Office Button / Word Options / Save / "Save files in this format" is set to: "Word 97 - 2003 Document (*.doc)", but every time I create a new blank document (Office Button / New / Blank Document / Create), [Compatibility Mode] won't kick-in until I after I save the document in the legacy format for the first time. Excel and PowerPoint don't behave this way: If you've got your default save format set to the legacy formats, anytime you create a new workbook or presentation, you're automatically in [Compatibility Mode] when you create a new workbook or presentation. Until you save the document, it remains in its internal format (as it was with previous Word versions). The option sets the default save option.

It's worth noting that even after saving the document in 97-2003 format, Word still isn't really *working* in anything I could describe as a compatibility mode. Although some one-time changes are made to the document in memory, it still maintains some 2007 features and new 2007 features can still be added to the document.

Agreed - the document whilst open in Word is always in Word's internal format. It is only the saved file that is in a compatible format.
