What does it mean? "Compatibility mode" is the mode of the Word editor, not the document. Are you using Word interop, Open XML SDK, or something else?

I am using word interop as well as openxml.Actually the problem was word file which i loaded was in compatibility mode.After turning off that compatibility mode it loaded successfully.

Very good, but another option is using Open XML SDK, which does not require Office installation.

Please see my comment to the question: it may or may not make sense, depending on what you are doing. In the meanwhile, read on the "compatibility mode":
