How do I change the default open mode?
Hello:
When I open a document that has revisions, it opens up the document in the "Final Showing Markup" mode. How can I change it, so that it opens a document in "Final Mode?" Thanks. |

This is a Security setting, and I would not advise changing it (if you do,
you risk sending a document that contains tracked changes), but if you want to, the option is on the Security tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne:
Thanks for your words of caution. But I still would like to change the default behavior. Are you referring to the check box "Mark hidden markup visible when opening or saving" check box. I have it unchecked. Even after saving and opening the document, it defaults to "Final Showing Markup" mode. Please advise. "Suzanne S.

Ordinarily a document will open in the view in which it is saved, but in
recent versions of Word, documents tend to inherit the settings of the window in which they were opened. I'm afraid that, aside from that speculation, I don't have any suggestions on this one. -- Suzanne S.
