Where did you look for the macro? The first suspect would be an AutoOpen
macro, but it could also be a Document_Open procedure. What happens if you
increase your macro security level to high and attach the document to the
normal.dot template?
Note, if this is used to produce other documents, recreation and saving as a
template would be a good idea anyway.

Thank you, Suzanne.
I looked for any running macros, but could not find any. I guess there's
some kind of an error in the document. It happens to be a very mature
document that's been around for several years, and has been through
numerous
versions of Word and many changes over the years. I suppose I can create a
new document and paste everything from the old document in. That might
take
care of it.

Jay,
Thank you for the information. However, what is happening is this:
I accepted all changes in the document. Then I turned Track Changes off
(by
double-clicking the TRK symbol. Then I saved the document and closed
it.
When I re-open the document, the TRK symbol is turned on, and any
changes
I
make are marked as changes (unless I turn the TRK symbol off again.)
So what I need to know is: How do I save the document so that when I
open
it, change tracking is not turned on.

Thank you in advance.
There's a difference between having Track Changes "turned on" (that
is, new changes will continue to be marked) and having previously
tracked changes displayed.
I think what you're seeing is that Track Changes is turned off (if
you
insert or delete something more, it won't be marked), but the
document
is showing you the previous changes.
You can hide the changes by setting the dropdown on the Reviewing
toolbar to Final. You can remove all the changes from the document by
clicking the down arrow next to the Accept Change button and
selecting
Accept All Changes.
You can turn off the automatic display of the on opening a document
by
going into Tools Options Security and unchecking "Make hidden
markup visible when opening or saving". That probably isn't a good
idea, though, unless you never give your document files to anyone
else. If there are changes in the document, even if they're hidden so
you don't notice they're there, the recipient can read them easily.
That can be embarrassing or, in the worst case, a security threat.
