document reverts to "final showing markup" instead of final
Although saved in "final" in the review tab, the document when opened the
next time has reverted to "final showing markup". This is a minor inconvenience, but I would like to fix it if possible. |

That's by design. If you are wanting to get rid of the markup, you need to
accept the changes and delete the comments. If you just don't want to see them, then there's a Security Options setting that's relevant, but I can't tell you where to find it because you haven't mentioned what version you're using. -- Suzanne S.

The tracked changes are visible when you open the document because the
setting "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" in Tools Options Security tab is turned on (which it is by default). You can turn off the setting. However, you risk distributing documents with tracked changes without being aware of it. Therefore, it is safer to keep the setting turned on. From Word's online help: "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving": Displays all comments, annotations, deletions, and other types of revisions. If you use the use the Show menu on the Reviewing toolbar to hide some or all of your revisions, and you select this option, your revisions will appear when you or another user opens the file. This option does not affect text formatted as hidden. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Ohio Cat" wrote: Although saved in "final" in the review tab, the document when opened the next time has reverted to "final showing markup".

Tracked Changes remain in the document until *all* have been Accepted or
Rejected & the feature turned off. If you're certain that there is no confidential or otherwise embarrassing content you can go to Word Options Trust Center, click the Trust Center Settings button & clear the check on "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving". Keep in mind that the default setting is for displaying the markup & anyone with access to the document will be able to display the tracked changes.

And that's why everyone hates Vista and the new Office -- Microsoft , telling
us what we *should* want, constantly defaulting, not letting us use whichever interface we're more comfortable with, ttreating us like idiotic children. I hate everything about V and O03, and I've been teaching, working with Microsoft products since 1987, beta tested W95 & W98. I even wrote Microsoft's own retail video training tapes for everything from 1993 through 1996, and I've never more felt like dumping it and going to Mac. So the p lan is to dump Vista and Office 2007 (for which I spent HUNDREDS of dollars) on my new computer and go back to XP and O03 - and when Microsoft stops supporting XP and O03, I'll jump ship.

I'm not sure how your comment is relevant to this particular discussion, but
it doesn't seem to be a question requiring an answer. What hasn't changed in Word 2003 or Word 2007 is that markup is not removed just by changing the view. The "Made hidden markup visible" setting just makes it more obvious so that users don't embarrass themselves by inadvertently sending out documents containing markup. -- Suzanne S.

Hello Susan

I guess everybody that knew the old interface as well and started out with the new had similar feelings. It really does hurt to abandon old habbits, for all of us. Weighing these against the benefits that now a lot of stuff is more "discoverable" to the casual user is still a close thing IMHO. :-) But case in point: overall, I think that showing tracked changes on opening really, really is a good thing! There are too many cases where people simply have not a clue about what TC is, how it works, and whether there are such things in their documents. It's a pain, but I prefer them springing into the user's face each time on upon compared to sending him off such a document to a third-party which can be really, really ugly. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

I know this is a long time after the last message.
There should be an easy way for a user to select whether they want the tracking to show or not. The amount of waste paper I have from printing a document and then having to print it again because the markup is always on is really really horrible. All of the proposed solutions DON'T work, unless you jump through more hoops than problem causes itself. I think users want the ability to choose between ease of use and protection from embarrassment.

Whether the markup _prints_ isn't a function of Final vs. Final with
Markup, but depends on the setting in the Print dialog. That's where you choose whether to print the text with markup (or even just the markup).

Actually, if the document is in Final Showing Markup view, and you hit the
Print button (FilePrintDefault), it will print with markup (just as if you had selected "Document with markup" in the Print dialog). If you first switch to Final view, the markup does not print. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Peter T.

Tools | Options | Security: Make hidden markup visible when opening or
saving. But note that if you want the document to *be* what you see in Final view, you need to accept (or reject) all the changes and delete all the comments. -- Suzanne S.
