How do you turn off "View --> Markup"
Under the View -- Markup on MS Word 2003, it is checked by default.
How do I remove this default setting? |

There's a reason this setting is on the Security tab of Tools | Options.
It's to protect you from the embarrassment (possibly even the legal liability) of sending out or printing a document with markup visible. Please be aware that hiding tracked changes and comments does not remove them. If you understand that you must accept changes and delete comments before the document is "clean," then clear the check box in the Security Options. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
One question for you, We just migrated to Office 2003 from Office XP, however we still have 30% of our company running Office XP. One thing I have noticed is that some of the users who open a document authored in Office xp which had the Track Changes turned on but View Markup was turned off by the original author, do not see the Changes (Bulloons, underlines, etc.). So not knowing changes are turned on they forward the document to user running Office 2003, that is where we get into trouble. Because the Office 2003 user will see the changes because be default View Markup is turned on. I wanted to find out what will be the best approach to this problem, besides upgrading everyone to Office 2003. Thanks "Suzanne S.

I believe that Word 2002 does have the option (also on the Security tab) to
"Warn before printing, saving, or sending a file that contains tracked changes or comments." With this option enabled, your Word 2002 users should be aware of hidden markup. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
Thanks for the quick response, does this mean that each individual user will have to manually turn this option on in Xp, is their a registry entry we can change which will turn this option on for the users?

How do you turn off "View -- Markup"
Help
 I've been creating Word docs and when I sent them to someone else, they are able to see my changes. I want the documents to be "clean" ~ as if designed with no changes. I've tried "Accepting all changes" ~ they disappear on my doc but appear on others if they have "Final showing markup" turned on (which I can't control). It seems bizarre that there's no way to do this. What I've had to do is copy and paste ... and then reformat for colour, headings, etc. Very time consuming. Or I pdf them ~ which isn't efficient if the recipient needs to make changes. Thanks! Teena "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: There's a reason this setting is on the Security tab of Tools | Options.

How do you turn off "View -- Markup"
If you have truly accepted all the changes and then saved the document
before sending it, then there should be no way for others to see your markup. Note that switching to Final view just hides the markup; to remove it, you must click on the down arrow beside the Accept Change button on the Reviewing toolbar and choose Accept All Changes in Document. -- Suzanne S.
