Default How do I stop the pop up bubble from appearing on changed text

I finally found the Option / ScreenTips. Since most of my documents need to
have the editing reviewed, I need to see the markup. On the View tab for the
Tools / Options, there is a check box for "screen tips"

When viewing documents in word that have changes, a display box
appears when you are moving the mouse over the changed text to show
you the changes. This is annoying when reviewing documents with a
team, as the presentor needs to make sure that the mouse never passes
over the text to display the bubble with the change information.

How do we turn this feature off?


Set the view to "Final" instead of "Final showing markup" and there won't be
any popups.

In Word 2003 or earlier, you can do this on the Reviewing toolbar, or you
can click View Markup to turn it off. In Word 2007, these settings are in
the Tracking section of the Review ribbon.

The drawback is that you won't see *any* indication of the changes unless
you switch back to showing the markup. You could have two windows
simultaneously showing the same document (in Word 2003, click Window New
Window; in Word 2007, click View New Window), one showing markup and the
other not showing it, and switch between them.
