Under what circumstances does it happen, then?

Hi, Stefan,

I am neither opening nor saving when the reviewer's comments become
visible...

It is a default setting in Word to always display markup in Word
when opening or saving a document that contains markup. The idea is
that you shouldn't inadvertently send a document to someone else
without noticing that it contains comments and edits that you may
not want the recipients to see.

You can turn off the setting: Click Tools | Options, Security tab.
Clear the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving"
option. But note that this won't prevent recipients from seeing
(possible sensitive) edits and comments.

I'm using word 2003, and I used the review tool bar to turn off
visibility of a specific user's comments. However, it keeps
turning back on (and the check box for that user becomes
rechecked). The user whose comments keep becoming visible is the
current user. Have many people experienced this behaviour? Is
there a way to prevent this from happening? Thanks.
