Selecting Final view does not remove the markup. To do this you need to
Accept All Changes in Document and Delete All Comments in Document.

Every time I open my document it opens with all markups showing in red. I
select Final, turn off everything under Show, go to Tools/Option/Security
and
unclick the "show markups" box, then Save. It STILL opens with all the
markups showing!! What else can I do?
