Compatibility Checker is one of the most useful features in Word 2007. Word will analyze the document and check for compatibility issues with earlier versions of Word. It’s a good idea to run Compatibility Checker before sending the document if you are not sure whether the recipient uses Office 2007.
For example, if your document contains SmartArt (which is a feature that is not supported in earlier versions of Word), when a colleague using Word 2003 opens your document, the SmartArt graphics will be converted into a single object that cannot be edited.

Before a final version of a document is shared with other people, the Mark as Final option can be used to make the document read-only. The Mark as Final option is used to prevent changes to the final version of a document. When a document is marked as final, its typing, editing commands, and proofing marks are disabled and the document becomes read-only. We cannot say that Mark as Final option is a security feature because anyone can edit a document that is marked as final by turning off Mark as Final.

Drop cap is used to create a large initial capital letter to spread over multiple lines. The letter expanded in this way is said to be dropped. It adds interest to a newsletter or an article. Drop cap can be used to drop a single letter or word(s) and expand it to multiple lines in a paragraph.
An example of drop cap is shown in the image given below:
Drop caps are often seen at the beginning of novels, where the top of the first letter of the first word lines up with the top of the first sentence and drops down to the four or fifth sentence.

AutoCorrect is a feature that is used to correct misspelled words automatically as they are typed. For example, if ‘whta’ is typed instead of ‘what’, then it gets corrected automatically when the spacebar is pressed after it. The AutoCorrect feature is also used to correct typographical errors, grammatical mistakes, and wrong capitalization. Common mistakes and their corrections are stored as AutoCorrect entries.
