Compatibility Mode uses only features that are available in Word 97-2003.
It is suitable for most purposes and will be used for any document that is
saved in .doc format, rather than the Word 2007 docx or docm formats.

Word 2007 switches to compatibility mode when you open a file in Word 97-2003
format (or when you save a file to that format). Some features cannot be used in
compatiblity mode (such as content controls and themes). You can "upgrade" a
file to Word 2007 format via Office button | Convert.
