Save it as a Word 2007 document.

Also, be aware that there's nothing "bad" about compatibility mode except that
it limits you to the features that are available in Word 2003 and earlier. If
you're going to be sharing the document with people who don't have Word 2007,
you should leave it in compatibility mode, and save it only as a Word 97-2003
(*.doc) file.
