Sign in to disble this ad
Well, first off i sent a few questions to companies to get some information about what they do for a college project, when i received it it was in Microsoft word.
when I open them up i cant copy them into a different file or change anything at all, this includes going in and fixing spelling error's
On top it says this:
"Tile of Document [Compatibility Mode] - Microsoft word"
the compatibly part isn't actually bolded in the program but i think thats where the problem is.
does anyone know how i can get out of this "mode" or at least be able to copy the questions without having to retype them, because there is a lot of them.

Delete it. See if this helps. Sometimes your issue happens if that template file is corrupt. |
