Hi - I'm using Word for Mac 2017 (version 15.37), and whenever I go to edit a Word file from Box (either directly through Box Edit or download then edit), they always open in Compatibility Mode and even automatically save in compatibility mode unless I first save the file as a.doc, and then re-open the.doc file and save it as a.docx. Is this normal? Since Box is made for sharing files, does Box do something to 'downgrade' the file in an attempt to increase accessibility/compatibility? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Bob that's the result I expected too, so I tested this a little more. In my Box environment, when I open a.docx file which I've uploaded, it opens as expected; but if I open someone else's.docx file it opens in Compatibility Mode.
I've triple-checked to make sure they created and saved it as a.docx, and.docx even appears in the name of the file in Box. Thanks again for your help, I'm still tinkering away trying to find things in common or different, and I'll update if I find anything.
Seeing how recent this post is and not being able to find other people addressing this issue, I thought I'd contribute. I use Word for Mac 2017 ver. 15.38 and I have the same problem. (macOS Sierra 10.12.6) The difference is that I use Google Drive, so it might be an issue with opening docx documents from any cloud-synced sources. If I copy & paste the docx file from the cloud folder to my home folder, it still opens in compatibility mode. However, any docx file I originally created in my home folder will open properly as docx.
Since this isn't a case where a crash report is submitted every time this occurs, it might take a while before people at Microsoft Office realize that it's happening. Hope it gets resolved with an update soon.
