The Compatibility Pack is only for machines that have Word 2000, 2002,
or 2003, and it won't install on a machine that has only Word 2007.

One other thing which may or may not have an effect is the fact that have
you installed the Compatibility Pack from Microsoft?

Yes.
I start up word... it automatically opens a new document (not in
compatibility mode)
I check my default save/as format, and it is set to: Word 97 - 2003
Document (*.doc)
I check my Office Button / Word Options / Advanced / Compatibility options
for:
I select "All New Documents"
Then under "Lay out this document as if created in:"
I select Microsoft Office Word 2003
Then I click ok
This may be a clue: That "Lay out" setting never sticks.
I can set it over and over... and when I go back to the setting, it's back
to "Lay out this document as if created in:"

Did you try in Advanced Layout Compatibility Options Layout This document
as if created in Word 2003 - I have this checked as well as Save and I
have no problem.
Hope this helps.

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.
