If you don't want the markup in the document, then you need to accept all
the changes and delete all the comments. See

When I open a word file, everything is normal. With this one that I get
from
someone every month, it opens at "Final showing markup" with all the
highlights and crossouts and garbage everywhere. I have to reset it to
"Final" to view as normal. Even if i make a change to it, save it, and
reopen it, it still opens with the markup showing. Whats causing this and
why doesnt it open as Final instead of with Markup?
