Hi ?B?aGF2ZW5sYWQ=?=,

Is it possible to have a document save so changes are saved but the document
opens with the changes hidden by default?

It could only be done by including a macro in the document that triggers when
the document is opened. The macro could change the display setting for the
active window. Note, though, that the document would trigger macro security,
which may or may not make such a solution unusable for you.

Here's some sample code:

Sub AutoOpen()
With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View
.ShowInsertionsAndDeletions = False
.ShowFormatChanges = False
End With
End Sub
