You can't control other people's "will."

Yes you can. *If other people are willing to let your macros (hammers and
nails as you call them) run you can manipulate their settings however you
like.

Sub AutoOpen()
With ThisDocument
* .TrackRevisions = True
* .ShowRevisions = False
End With
End Sub

I would not suggest doing this in this case or ever doing it without
advising the user of the actions. *You should also take steps to ensure the
users original settings are restored.

But you could send out Word files that don't have anyone else's
tracked changes/comments in them, and when you get back each one,
combine them (Review tab Compare Combine, repeat as necessary).

I would like to hide the tracking changes in Word 2007 as a document
is passed from user to user.
Presently, every time a user opens the file that I have sent them,
the file opens showing all the tracking changes. I would like it to
Open and not show the tracking changes and just have the user do
their changes. the users are getting confused by all the markups.
I have tried the procedures mentioned which a
1) Trust Center - Privacy Options
2) remove check for "Make hidden markup visible when opening or
saving"
Is the procedure that I listed supposed to work?
What will work?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
