Excellent! I had completely forgotten that option. Incidentally, it also
controls whether popups appear when hovering over hyperlinks,
cross-references, and comments.

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.
