If you sent him a document, was the document macro enabled and did it contain the macros? The document won't see the macros if they are in your normal template or the document template filed on your PC and you mail it to someone else.

Compatibilty mode is merely a visual indication that the document was created on an earlier version. There is little in the way of VBA code that works in 2007 that doesn't in 2010.
