Mr.Daniels,

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'thave 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!

Mr. Daniels,

You decide what you can't do. Let the rest of us determine for
ourselves what we can and can't do. Fair enough?
