Default Cannot edit in word 2007 compatibility mode

On my Vista ultimate (fresh install) PC I installed Office 2003 then I
installed and then installed Office 2007. Becasue I'm working on a network
where all the other PCs have office 2003 in Word 2007, I have configured my
default save format to "Word 97 2003 Document (*.doc) . In Word 2007 I
open a word 2003 document on a network drive. At the top of the window it
states Compatibility Mode but I cannot select any text with my mouse cursor.
My intent is to update the document in Word 2007 and save it in the DOC
format thus when it is accessed by a PC that has only Word 2003 it can be
changed if necessary. Why cannot I edit the document in compatibility mode?
