No. That's recommended: Compatibility Options should always be set to the
latest version of the current application, so the document will appear
correctly in the current version.

When you go up to the next version, you will need to update the tool to set
the higher version.

The only reason to set compatibility for an earlier version is if you are
experiencing problems with documents that are sent to the earlier version of
Word.
