How do I change the default to NOT show markups for any file w
Please confirm how you think it can be disabled - I unchecked "Make hidden
markup visible when opening or saving" but it still opens with all the changes tracked. The simplest way to turn it off document by document is to deselect the markup icon on the view menu but this is a pain to do it for lots of docs - any other ideas? "Suzanne S.

Apparently you have Track Changes enabled for all documents. I'm not sure
how to turn that off globally unless perhaps it's enabled for Normal.dot? Also, documents always open in the view in which they were saved. -- Suzanne S.

I have run into this problem, too. The only way I've found to permanently
change this is to open a new document in a template that does not have track changes on, copy and paste the entire contents of the first doc into the second one, and re-save. It's a bit tedious if you want to do this for all of your documents, but it has proven for me to never re-open in Track Changes mode again. Laura "Suzanne S.

It is actually a lengthy multi-step process. First you must go into original
document and turn off track changes feature in Tools. (It will be on if you are looking at the tracked changes.) Then you must close markup feature in view as well. Then you go into tools/ options/ security and turn off make markup visible feature. Then you copy all of the text. Then you open a new doc and go to tools/options/security and turn off markup visible feature. Then you paste the stuff from the original doc that's copied to your clipboard and pray it works. At least that's how I remember doing it. It is quite cumbersome and a pain in the neck. "Laura C." wrote: I have run into this problem, too.

The fix I have used is what "Amy" suggested.
-Open a blank document -Go to Options/Security -Under the Privacy options, uncheck the box marked "Make hidden markings visable when opening or saving" -This appears to have eliminated the annoying problem Carl "David Snyder" wrote: It is actually a lengthy multi-step process.
