This is a security option, configurable on the Security tab of Tools |
Options. I do *not* recommend that you disable it unless you're sure
everyone using the computer will be fully aware that hiding the tracked
changes is not the same thing as removing them.

With some of the word documents on the computer I use for work, when I
open
them the "markup" view is automatically on. For most of my documents this
is
not the case. How can I change it so that the "markup" view is NOT on
when I
open documents? I have tried turning it off, saving the document and
closing
it, but that doesn't work. Help!
