Convert MS (Compatability mode) into normal?
I purchased a new computer so I had to get new software. I transferred over a bunch of word documents but they are listed as (comparability mode) and I think it is causing word to crash every 8 minutes.
Is there some way to convert a word document from the old (Comparability mode) into a newer word document?
And is there a way to do it to multiple documents at once (like highlighting multiple files in a folder).
I have office 2013 and windows 8.1

If there original IS from the old version of Word, here's all you need to do (Word 2010, I don't know anything newer):
1) Load the old file
2) Click on the File tab
3) Select Save As
4) Make sure the filetype is "Word Document (*.docx)"
5) Give it a file name
6) Click the Save button
The file has just been converted.
