You can't. If the document contains tracked changes, it will open with them
displayed. The setting that controls this (sort of) is on the user's
machine, so it's not anything you can do anything about. If you want them to
see the final view, then remove all the markup (accept all the changes and
delete all the comments) before sending the doc.

I want multiple users to be able to see the changes in a document if they
want to, but to have the default view be final. But when I save the
document
after working on it and then open it again, it always opens in display
track
changes mode and confuses some users not familiar with track changes. (The
document was originally created in Word 2003.) How can I make the default
view final when it opens?
