Opening Word 2007 docs in Word 2013 and formatting is changed??


we installed 2 new pc's on network office 2013.  everyone else running 2007.  when existing file opened on either of 2 pc's running word 2013 formatting , layout changed.  the font changed though same font available , layout changed little , document not fit on 1 page more.  it shifts 2 or 3 lines @ bottom next page.  when open same file in word 2007 still good.  word 2013 opens file in 'compatibility mode' still layout changed.  we have hundreds of documents need able open in both word 2007 , 2013.  any suggestions on how can make work??

hi,

as far know, if open word 2007 file in word 2013 compatibility mode, preserve layout of document. recommend try convert document word 2013 mode test. steps:

  • click file tab.
  • to convert document without saving copy, click info, , click convert.

if issue still exists, send sample file via email (ibsofc@microsoft.com)? i'd test it.

it's recommended download , install configuration analyzer tool (offcat), developed microsoft support teams. once tool installed, can run @ time scan hundreds of known issues in office programs.
