Default Lock track changes and balloon view on document for collaboration

We are trying to track changes on over 100 documents for a local school in
Word 2007. We are able to set up the document, turn on TRACK CHANGES,
BALLOONS and set the view to ORIGINAL SHOWING MARKUP. This gives us the look
and tracking we are looking for...... BUT!

As soon as we save the document, and then re-open it the ORIGINAL SHOWING
MARKUP option is changed back to the FINAL SHOWING MARKUP view and the list
of changes in the balloons is gone.

We can re-enable the view manually, but the purpose is to set the document
up so that when the end users open it, the document view is already set to
show the change balloons on the side of the document. Any help is GREATLY
appreciated!
