should not open with markup displayed.

Hi, didn't know the best group to post this in...

Word version 2003

Every time I launch word with a particular document, it comes up
displaying
the changes that I or others have made. (red text/strike outs etc).

I want the document to open "showing final" only. How do I set this
default?
Also, I want track changes off by default... but it seems to be on by
default???

Thanks,
Mark
