Hi,
I'm just deploying Office 2016 and I would like do so that if user opens Office 2010 originated docx or doc then Word would show "compatibility mode warning" in message bar, not only next to document title. I know how to detect that and convert that but I don't think it is good idea to do that automatically with AutoOpen:
If (ActiveDocument.CompatibilityMode = 11) Then ActiveDocument.Convert
And I know how to display a message in the status bar but people will not pay attention to that (as well as remark next to title bar):
Sub StatusBar()
Application.StatusBar = "This is document is in compatibility mode, consider converting it"
End Sub
Is there any option to send custom security information to actual Message bar with Red / Yellow / Green background to get more user attention?
