What are all the layout compatibility options in Word 2007?
The following KB article explains most of the compatibility options:
Description of the Compatibility options that are available in the Options dialog box in Word 2003, Word 2002, and Word 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288792/en-us There doesn't seem to be a similar article written for Word 2007. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "prestebb" wrote in message ...

I don't think there are actually any new ones in Word 2007, but the
explanations in that article aren't always very helpful for any version, anyway. A lot of them are kind of trial-and-error, I think. -- Suzanne S.

What are all the layout compatibility options in Word 2007?
Actually, there are at least two new compatibility options for Word 2007:
- "Use Normal style for bulleted or numbered lists" - "Split apart page break and paragraph mark" (Saving a file in *.doc format would undoubtedly reveal even more new options.) I agree that the KB article isn't always helpful, but at least it gives us some information... -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

I had certainly heard about the second--not sure about the first, and I'm
not clear on what it would accomplish. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

"Use Normal style for bulleted or numbered lists" should prevent Word from
changing the style when you apply a bulleted or numbered list (as direct formatting via buttons on the ribbon). This is also available as a application-wide setting (in the Advanced category, under "Editing options"). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Does clicking the question mark next to the red x provide answers?

Even if the style is something other than Normal?

The help topic displayed if you click the question mark describes the
options of the dialog box, but it does not give you any information on individual compatibility options. This applies even if you let Word fetch online help topics. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "gordo" wrote in message ... Does clicking the question mark next to the red x provide answers?

In a quick test, it seems as if paragraphs which have styles other than
Normal applied to them won't be affected, no matter if the option is enabled or disabled. For anyone else following the thread I'd like to clarify that the style being applied by Word (to numbered or bulleted paragraphs) if you clear the "Use Normal style for bulleted or numbered lists" option is List Paragraph. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
