Re: Does XMLMind support Word 2010

Does XMLMind support Word 2010?

Sure. XMLMind XSL-FO converter output is tested against all versions of 
MS-Word starting from MS-Word 2003 and up to MS-Word 2013.

This "compatibility mode" string is completely harmless.

I'm sorry but the answer is no.

This "compatibility mode" string is a MS-Word feature and as such, is 
not documented in the DOCX specifications.

We have tried to determine what could cause this "compatibility mode" 
string to be displayed by MS-Word 2010 and have found just one good reason:

different XML namespaces used in the DOCX created by MS-Word 2010+ 
compared to those created by MS-Word 2007.

We are not 100% sure that just using the new namespaces would allow us 
to get rid of the "compatibility mode" string.

We are 100% sure that using the new namespaces would cause MS-Word 2007 
(or MS-Word 2003 + compatibility pack) to refuse to open the DOCX file.

In a nutshell,

For now, XMLmind XSL-FO converter generates *100% correct* DOCX files 
compatible with as much versions of MS-Word as possible, even if this 
causes MS-Word 2010+ to display "(compatibility mode)" in its title bar.

I'm sorry but we do not plan to add a "Generate MS-Word 2010+ DOCX" 
option in the near future.
