Remarks
When you open a document that was created in a previous version of Word, Compatibility Mode is turned on. Compatibility Mode ensures that no new or enhanced features in Word 2013 or Word 2010 are available while working with a document, so that people who edit the document using previous versions of Word will have full editing capabilities.
