Default Compatability Mode


All files, past and present are opening in Compatability Mode. How to fix this?

That's normal, so the files can be shared with others who don't have the latest Office version.

If new documents are opening in compatibility mode, you probably upgraded from a previous ribbon version of Word and had an existing normal.dotm template. That would be used by Word 2013 but new documents based on it would be seen as a prior type of Word document.

You could, with Word closed, rename normal.dotm. When you restart Word new documents should not be created in compatibility mode.
