This problem can occur in any version of Microsoft Word which provides Compatibility Mode feature such as Word 2007, 2010 or 2013. When you try to open a document created in older version of Word in a new version of Word program, the document window shows text in titlebar as shown in following screenshot:īut the problem occurs when the text always appears in titlebar of all Word documents whether its a new document or an existing document. It was developed to support old documents and files which were created using previous versions of Office suite such as Office 2003, etc. “ Compatibility Mode” was a new feature introduced by Microsoft in Office 2007 version. Its a known problem in Microsoft Word program and I have received lots of emails in past regarding the same issue.

It doesn’t happen in PowerPoint or Excel programs. Whenever I open Office Word 2013 (blank document), it always opens in compatibility mode.
