Syntax

'Declaration
<BrowsableAttribute(False)> _
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Compatibility As Document._CompatibilityType

'Usage
Dim instance As Document 
Dim value As Document._CompatibilityType 

value = instance.Compatibility

public virtual Document._CompatibilityType Compatibility { get; }

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]

    Document._CompatibilityType^ get ();
}

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document._CompatibilityType
true if the specified compatibility option is enabled; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The Compatibility property is intended to be used with the following parameter.

If you attempt to use Compatibility without specifying a parameter, Compatibility will get a Document._CompatibilityType object that is part of the Visual Studio Tools for Office infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Compatibility options affect how a document is displayed in Microsoft Office Word.

Some of the WdCompatibility values might not be available to you, depending on the language support (U.S. English, for example) that you have selected or installed.

Examples

The following code example suppresses the space before a paragraph if the paragraph is located after a hard page break.

This version is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub DocumentCompatibility()
    Me.Compatibility(Word.WdCompatibility.wdSuppressSpBfAfterPgBrk) = True 
End Sub

private void DocumentCompatibility()
{
    this.Compatibility[Word.WdCompatibility.wdSuppressSpBfAfterPgBrk] = true;
}

This version is for an application-level add-in.

Private Sub DocumentCompatibility()
    Dim vstoDoc As Document = Me.Application.ActiveDocument.GetVstoObject()
    vstoDoc.Compatibility(Word.WdCompatibility.wdSuppressSpBfAfterPgBrk) = True 
End Sub

private void DocumentCompatibility()
{
    Document vstoDoc = this.Application.ActiveDocument.GetVstoObject();
    vstoDoc.Compatibility[Word.WdCompatibility.wdSuppressSpBfAfterPgBrk] = true;
}
