Hi
I have documents I and colleagues receive that are tracked\ changed by
secretaries and then sent to us. I want to recieve it as showing the
final
mark up but it defaults to showing the changes and does this for others it
is
sent to as well. This has caused problems at meetings when peple bring the
wrong document. Is there a wau to force the document to open showing the
final document?
thanks
