Hi Jed, Do you mean compatability mode or protected mode?
If you're opening documents from email or by downloading them with your browser, this is likely to be protected mode; I believe there is a setting inside of Word which lets you disable the use of protected mode (but it's supposed to be a risk for viruses, but I believe it's a very low risk). If it is compatability mode, this is usually when you get documents created by other people who are using an older version of Word. The compatability mode keeps you from using newer features in word that such people would not have in their older copies of Word. If you aren't getting these documents from others but are creating them yourself, It's possible that you accidentally set your default saving format in Word to be Word 2003 and earlier (which is what compatability mode refers to).
