If the document's file has an extension of .docx or .docm instead of .doc,
it has already been "converted" and the conversion option won't appear on
the Office button menu. If that isn't the case, and if "Compatibility Mode"
still appears in the title bar when the document is open, try using the Save
As dialog and changing the "Save As Type" box to "Word Document (*.docx)".

I have this problem too but it won't let me "convert" It only
allowing me to open, print, send, and close the document. Any ideas?
Thanks!

How do I turn off compatibility mode? I created the document in MS
Word 2003 but then resaved the document in MS Word 2007 and then
renamed it and resaved it again in MS Word 2007 but it still says
compatibilty mode and when I tried to do something (can't recall
now what it was...) it said that the feature was limited because I
was in compatibility mode..how do I get it out of compatibility
mode?
Thanks,

Open the document in Word 2007. Then click the Office button and
choose Convert. When that finishes, the document won't be in
compatibility mode any more. Then you can save it as a .docx (Word
2007 format) file.
