Set default compatibility mode on file creation

This policy setting allows you to specify the default compatibility mode when creating new files in Word. There are four modes:

1. Word 2003: This mode disables features in Word that are not compatible with Word 2003.
2. Word 2007: This mode disables features in Word that are not compatible with Word 2007.
3. Word 2010: This mode disables features in Word that are not compatible with Word 2010.
4. Full functionality mode: This mode ensures that all new features remain enabled. This is the default setting for Word.

Note: Not all file formats support all four Compatibility Modes. Open XML file formats such as .docx and .dotx, support all four modes.
