Compatibility

[Guest]

Is it possible to set different levels of compability in a Word document?
For instance, have one page at Word 2003 and one page as 97?

Thanks!

To be just a bit more verbose about this:

First, Word has only the fuzziest idea of what a "page" is. Pages are
created on the fly as you edit and format. Even if you don't edit or
change the format, opening the document with a different printer
driver selected is often enough to change the placement of page breaks
(see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm).

Second, the compatibility options (Tools > Options > Compatibility)
apply to the entire document. That's just the way Word is designed.

Third, the option to disable features not supported by an earlier
version applies only at the time you save -- that's why it's on the
Tools > Options > Save dialog -- and also applies to the whole
document.
