Mark-up View
I was provided a word 2003 document and every time the document is opened it
has the mark-up view. How do I remove this feature? I know how to remove it after it is already open but I don't want this enabled when I send the file. |

I know how to remove it after it is already open but I don't want this enabled when I send the file. Changing the view to Final does not remove the markup from the document, and if you send the document to someone else then they will be able to see the markup. To remove it, you _must_ either accept or reject all of the tracked changes and comments in the document -- either one by one, or all at once (click the down arrow on the Accept or Reject button on the Reviewing toolbar). If you want to keep the changes active, then make a copy of the document, remove all the markup from the copy, and send the copy, keeping the original for yourself. The reason Word defaults to opening in the Final With Markup view is precisely to prevent you from sending out documents from which you have forgotten to remove the changes -- which might be embarrassing or worse. There is an option (in the Security tab of the Options dialog) to turn it off, but you do that at your considerable risk. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
