In Word 2003, when I create a document with track changes turned on, turn off
markup so they don't show, save the document, and send it to someone, the
changes show when the recipient opens the document. For most people this is
very confusing. I want changes to show ONLY when the recipient turns on
markup.

"Turning off" markup only hides it, but it's still in the document.
The recipient WILL see it. If you don't want the recipient to see your
changes, you MUST either ACCEPT or REJECT all of them.

If you want to keep the changes for yourself, make a copy of the
document first, and then accept or reject the changes only in the copy
that you'll be sending out.
