Reviewing and markup function in Word 2003
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of or make disappear the reviewing markup
feature in Word. I don't use it, don't want to have to remove the correction history after I edit. I don't want to ever see it again. Help Thanks Stan |

Reviewing and markup function in Word 2003
Stan,
I ran into the same problem just this morning. Every time I pulled up 2 specific documents, they came up showing the "markup". I found the fix in F1 help, but here it is: 1. Open the document. 2. If it is not already showing, show the "Reviewing" toolbar. 3. Select "Final". It probably shows "Final with Markup". 4. Now, go to "Tools" on the word menu. 5. From the Tools menu drop down, select "Options". 6. From the Options menu, select the "Security" tab. 7. On the Security tab, UNCHECK the box to the left of the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" field, which is towards the bottom of the dialog box. 8. Save the document. 9. Close the document and re-open. It should open normally now. NOTE: If you find that this box is -not- checked, I found that you have to check it, save the document, close and re-open the document, then uncheck it, save the document and re-open to fix. This is on a "Per Document" basis, so you will have to perform these procedures for every document you have that is doing this. Hope this helps. :-) -- Bill M "Stan" wrote: Can anyone tell me how to get rid of or make disappear the reviewing markup feature in Word.

Reviewing and markup function in Word 2003
Stan, please note that the instructions Bill provides do NOT remove the
markup or turn off Track Changes. To really solve the problem, you must turn Track Changes off and Accept All Changes in Document. Anything less just hides the markup; if you send the document to someone else, he/she can still see all the markup.

Reviewing and markup function in Word 2003
Thanks and the referenses are helpful but what I'm really looking for is to
not have to deal with the track change/markup/review function at all. Is there any way to shut it off so it's like it's not even there or delete that function from word 2003 entirely. The more I read about all the aspect of this function that have to be considered just to type and send a document the more I don't want to deal with it . thanks for all the help -this is my first post on any site.

Reviewing and markup function in Word 2003
If you never turn Track Changes on or insert comments, you should never see
any markup or the Reviewing toolbar unless you open a document someone else has sent you that contains markup. -- Suzanne S.
