Hi, Whenever i open a word document, the document always opens with the
review toolbar showing as "Final Showing Markup" as the default. Is there a
way that i can change this so that when i open a new or old word document it
shows in "Final" format ?? I have looked and looked but can not find anywhere
that allows me to chang this setting. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Regards
Stephen

Hi ?B?U3RlcGhlbg==?=,

If this is Word 2003, try changing the "Make hidden markup visible when opening
or saving" setting in Tools/Options/Security.

Thanks Cindy, but this does not make any difference. I have tried this
setting change previously and all files still open as "final showing markup"

Note however if another user on a different station has this setting checked
on, your document will open in "Final Showing Markup" regardless and the only
thing you can do is install a macro to change it. If you are using RTF
however, the macro can't be stored in the document (sigh).
