Hey all,

How do I save a doc with Final instead of Final showing markup? Everytime
I
change this and save, close: it comes back with Final showing markup!
It's
driving me crazy. I tried the checkbox in security the supposedly doesnt
show the markup, but it still shows it somewhat, and printing is such a
hassle. I am really frustrated.

Any ideas.
