Default Turning off Compatibility moder

One minor thing that comes to mind is that a document converted to *.docx
format from *.doc does not support changing fonts and colors via Change
Styles on the Home tab (but you can change the paragraph styles directly, so
that shouldn't be a problem). If you press the Tell Me More button in the
message box you will get more information.

Tried changing the Registry it did not work.

The problem is, everytime i save the doc in default save option (ie., 2007
.docx), a message pops-up "......may cause changes in the layout of the
document". Ofcourse the message can be turned off but I am keen to known
how
that would affect my work.

If the option is not saving, see

Also, note that existing documents won't be affected by changing the
default
save format. You can convert an existing document to Word 2007 format via
Office button | Convert.

Inspite of changing the save mode in 'word options', i am unable to
turn-off
the compatibility mode. It is working well for excel and power point.
