Microsoft Office Word Forum - WordBanter - View Single Post - remove the "final with markup" and "read" views as defaults

If changes have been accepted and comments deleted, Track Changes turned
off, and the document saved, there should be no markup visible. I suspect
that your typist thinks that changing the view to Final is all that is
required.

Please allow me to be clearer. After sending an edited document to my
typist
to finalize via Outlook email, she accepted/rejected tracked changes,
saved
her changes and marked the document as final and sent back to me by email.
Despite that, when I opened the document, it showed "final with markup"
along
with all the history of edits. If I had forwarded the document to a
client,
would they not also see the litany of document changes that preceded?

You didn't send it as final. For a document to be Final, you need to
remove
the tracked changes. Otherwise, "final" is just Word showing you what
final
will look like after you accept the changes.

See here, there's a "how to remove" section.

final is final

the "read" view is cumbersome
