In Word Options/advanced there are several layout options listed. How can I
find out what each of them does?
From: Stefan Blom on
The following KB article explains most of the compatibility options:

Description of the Compatibility options that are available in the Options
dialog box in Word 2003, Word 2002, and Word 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288792/en-us

There doesn't seem to be a similar article written for Word 2007.

I don't think there are actually any new ones in Word 2007, but the
explanations in that article aren't always very helpful for any version,
anyway. A lot of them are kind of trial-and-error, I think.

Actually, there are at least two new compatibility options for Word 2007:

- "Use Normal style for bulleted or numbered lists"

- "Split apart page break and paragraph mark"

(Saving a file in *.doc format would undoubtedly reveal even more new
options.)

I agree that the KB article isn't always helpful, but at least it gives us
some information...

I had certainly heard about the second--not sure about the first, and I'm
not clear on what it would accomplish.
