Word's default behavior is to display the markup so the viewer knows it is
there. It will continue to be there until you Accept/Reject *all* changes &
turn Track Changes Off in the doc.

Every time I open a file within Mirosoft Word the file opens with all the
corrections highlighted in red. How can I turn that option off, and open a
file in "final" mode?
