Digital Fix
There are two ways to convert a word document to the latest version of word .
Open the ‘ old ’ file and select ‘ Save As ’ to save it in the latest version . But by doing it this way , you will end up with two documents with the same name ( the old version and the new one ). A quicker way is to use the Word Convert option as follows :
Open the ‘ old ’ file , click on the File tab then choose Convert , a box will warn you about saving in a newer version , click OK . The file will now have a . docx filetype , [ Compatability Mode ] will no longer be displayed at the top of the screen and the best part of all , you have available all of the new Word features you couldn ’ t use before . Just remember to save it !
