Hi Susie q, Don't confuse compatibility mode with protected view mode. Compatibility mode just means that Word 2010 is letting you open a file from an earlier version of Word. You can still edit the document and save it as usual. JAWS just reads the title bar when opening the document and so you hear that it is being opened in compatibility mode. You don't have to save it in the new format. If all you are wanting to do is transfer the edited file to your Stream then you might as well just leave it in the .DOC format.
On the other hand if there are features in Word 2010 that you want to use that weren't available in the earlier versions of Word then you might want to use the newer format. The compatibility mode is not the same as the protected mode and it is not a safety feature. If Word thinks a document might be from an unsafe source then it will open in protected view, which is like a sandboxed area. Documents from programs using the Internet zone are examples of documents opened in protected view. You don't need to worry about documents opened in compatibility mode so if all you are wanting to do is put them on the Stream you really don't need to use the newer format. Take care.

Yes, you can go into Word Options and tell it to create/save documents in the old .doc format. ----- Original Message ----- From: Susie q To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2012 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] question about word 2010 and Jaws 13?

It means you are using a newer version of Microsoft Office. The 2007 and up use the .d o c x as the standard default format, instead of the older .d o c file type in Microsoft Word in Office versions 2003 and below. ----- Original Message ----- From: Susie q To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2012 9:10 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] question about word 2010 and Jaws 13?
