How to turn on compatability mode
When trying to open an old word document doc. it comes up saying that there
is a problem sending the command ?. My friend has the compatability mode showing on her PC but doesn't know how it got there. How can I "turn it on" for my PC as when it does appear that the document has been sent, a new word document shows but the Microsoft button does not show the convert or switch for the compatability mode. Thus, any work I do at my office PC, I can't open on Windows 7. I can create new documents in 7 but this situation is not satisfactory. Please help - anyone - as I am really thinking I should go back to Windows XP |

How to turn on compatability mode
You are using a version of Office prior to Word 2007 (which you have at
work)? Download the FREE Compatibility pack from the Microsoft Office support site. This will give you the ability to open and edit Word 2007 docx/dotx format and provide you with all the new 'C' fonts. That will remove the need for you to use Compatibility Mode. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Lint" wrote in message ...
