I love Comments; I loath Final Showing Markup. Or, "how do I keep my love
with Final Showing Markup intruding?"

This is not an issue with tracking as such. I Accept All Changes, close,
open, and still find it open showing Comments, so to print I must manually
change from FSM. When one has a batch of files this is rather loathsome. Is
there any workaround in Word2007 to only open FSM on request, rather than by
default?

You can add an AutoOpen macro to your Normal template.

Sub AutoOpen()
'Change Tracked Changes to Final View
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowRevisionsAndComments = False
.RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal
End With

End Sub
