Compatibility Mode has nothing to do with whether Android tablets can read Word documents. Most likely the problems you're having relate to the file format, not to Compatibility Mode.

Although it's possible to write code that converts from, say, .doc format to .docx format, the new file necessarily has a new date & time stamp. While it's possible to replace the new date & time stamp with the original (I've posted code for that elsewhere), that won't help you if the document uses date-based fields such as CREATEDATE (fairly common with documents based on a template), since the SaveAs process needed for the conversion changes the document's internal metadata for that property (and others). So, even if you changed the date & time stamp, the document's contents would say otherwise. There may be commercial software that can do such conversions without affecting the metadata.
