Note that you *can* tell Word not to open up with markup showing, but it's a
bad idea; there's a reason the option is on the Security tab of Tools |
Options.

Hi Crispy-

Once you activate Track Changes in a doc, the only way to get the markup
removed is to Accept/Reject All Changesthen turn track Changes off & save.
Not a bad idea to do so, anyway, if the recipient doesn't need the markup
in
the first place.

If you need to retain the markup for further reference, save a copy follow
the above, and send the copy.

I have a document that every time I open it up, it opens in MARKUP view.
It is easy to turn off the markup view and continue to work and then to
save
the document.

The issue is that the next time I go to the document to open it, it
opens up
again in MARKUP view. This is not a terrible issue for me, but if I send
the
document to someone and they open it up, they get the MARKUP view too!!!

Is there a way I can stop the document oopening up in MARKUP view?

All help gratefully received.

Cheers
