Hi Jed, I don't know why you don't see any text, but it is not because of "compatibility mode". This just means someone created that document with Word 2003 or earlier, and Word isn't using features newer than those.
One possible reason you don't hear text would be if you received the document via email or downloaded it; in those cases Windows flags the document as possibly dangerous, and Word 2010 or later displays it in "protected view". In this view I believe Window-Eyes won't read the text of the document. There are instructions on the GW knowledgebase for getting a document out of protected view (you can go through the Word "file" menu or use windows explorer and go to the file properties).
