  1. Compatibility mode in Office


    When I create a new doc in O365 Word, it creates it in compatibility mode which means if i want to use a basic feature like drag an image to increase its size or rotate it, I have to save the document first. How can I make all new docs be created in the newest version rather than in compatibility mode? This is a fairly new issue, I'm assuming related to an update.

    Compatibility mode in Office

    MS Office disappeared with Windows 10 upgrade!

    Hi Denise,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with office and Wi-Fi connection.
    I will surely help you to fix this issue.

    To understand the issue better, let me know what is the make and model of the computer

    To resolve the issue with Wi-Fi, I suggest you to try these steps:

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to run the network troubleshooter and check if it helps.



    • Press Start Button and in the Windows Search type
      Troubleshooting
      .
    • Open Troubleshooting and select Network and Internet.
    • Run Network Adapter troubleshooter.
    Check if it helps to fix the issue.

    Step 2:

    If the issue persists, I suggest you to install latest Wi-Fi driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps. If Windows 10 driver are not available then install latest driver in compatibility mode.



    To install the Wireless network driver in compatibility mode, I would suggest you to follow these steps.

    a. Download the latest Wireless network driver from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    b. Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

    c. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    d. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and
    select latest Windows version from the drop down list.

    e. Let the driver install and then check the functionality.
