there are 2 other ways to convert a file to a new version of Word.
Using the Save As command:
1. Choose Save As from the File menu or press F12.
2. Focus should be on the file name box, tab once to get to the file format
list.
3. Move to the top of the list to choose Word Document.
4. Press Enter to activate the Ok button.
You will now have 2 versions of the document.
The second method is to allow Word to convert the file for you.
1. Open the File menu and cursor down to Info Tab.
2. Press the tab key a couple of times and you should be on the Convert button.
3. Press Enter and the file will be converted to the new format.
The key sequence for the above is: Alt+f, i, k.
When Word converts the file, focus returns to the document. When you close the
document, Word will prompt to save the changes. The file will be saved in the
new format and the old version will automatically be deleted.

Sue,
My understanding is compatability mode simply refers to the fact a file
comes from an older version of, in my case, Word. When, in Word2013, I open
a file created in my earlier version of word, it always shows up in
compatability view. I don't believe this has any detramental affect on
being able to access, edit, whatever, you desire, I suspect the only way to
remove compatability, is, firstly, open the document in question, open an
empty document in Word, then copy the entire content of the old into the
new, close the old, pick up it's name then close the new, saving as the
original name, this, if I've understood correctly, should replace old with
new and it should then be in the new word format. Of course, if the old has
the extension .doc you will ne3ed to delete, as your new one, if I've
understood correctly, will have the extension of .docx.
