Correct Document Name in Compatibility Mode

[RC - S]

Hello

I have a number of Word documents build in Word 2003 (which need to stay
there for now), but when I run a VBA (in Word 2007) and use:
Windows(mDocument).Activate sequence (where mDocument has the document name
like ‘Document2’) it fails because on the task bar the document name has the
words ‘[Compatibility Mode]’ after it.

This is how mDocument is created (via a Public Function):
Application.Documents.Add(ThisDocument.AttachedTemplate.FullName)

How can I find out if the word document I have open is in ‘compatibility
mode’ using VBA please, so i can reference the right document to bring it
back to be the Active Document -which i need to do after creating another
document (in this case an envelope).

Many thanks

Use

Dim mydoc as Document
Set mydoc = Documents.Add(ThisDocument.AttachedTemplate.FullName)
mydoc.Activate
