Default Compatibility Options

Hello

OS: Windows XP
App: Word XP

Our document repair tool sets all documents Compatibility to Word 2002 which
is the current Application we use.

Has anyone ever experienced any issues resulting from this action.

Regards
Mike

Default Compatibility Options

No. That's recommended: Compatibility Options should always be set to the
latest version of the current application, so the document will appear
correctly in the current version.

When you go up to the next version, you will need to update the tool to set
the higher version.

The only reason to set compatibility for an earlier version is if you are
experiencing problems with documents that are sent to the earlier version of
Word.
