I have searches through a lot of sites, but can't find any answer how to turn
marking off when Word starts up.

I have the Word 2003, and I do not know if "show marking" is the right
translation of the menu in Word.

There is Files, Edit and in my word the next menu is "vis", and then the
command before "show full screen", I am thinking of.

Hoping some can help

Hi Jens:

The "Show Markup" command shows tracked changes and comments if any exist in
the document. I recommend that you leave it permanently turned ON so you
will always be aware if Revision Marking is enabled.

If you turn it OFF while Word is tracking changes, Word continues to collect
revisions until eventually the file becomes too complex and the document
corrupts.

To enable/disable the tracking of changes itself, double-click the TRK
button at the extreme bottom of the screen in the status bar, or use
ToolsTrack Changes...

It may be that you are looking for the Show/Hide command, which hides
non-printing characters. That's the black backwards P symbol on the
Standard toolbar. You can also get to it via ToolsOptionsViewNonprinting
characters.

Hope this helps
