Default Editing options disapear when document is changed to compatibility

I have an excel (2007) document with makro content that has been edited by
other people. One of them changed the document to a shared document
(compatibility mode) to be able to track changes. Now the document seems to
be partially locked. I am hadly allowed to change any kind of formating or
insert anything. How do I change back the document or get rid of whatever is
blocking me from using many functions?
