I have a document that has decided to always open showing markup (despite
the fact that I have repeatedly set it back to Final on the revision tool
bar).

Any ideas?

There is a setting to "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving."
There's a reason it's on the Security tab of Tools | Options; it's for your
protection. Some users have reported that disabling this option doesn't stop
Word from opening in Final Showing Markup view, though.

Boy, you got my hopes up.

I tried clearing that and expected that the next time I opened, I'd be
happy - alas, it didn't solve the problem (which seems to be document
specific - it is not opening ALL documents in Final w/Markup).

Despite having previously opened/changed and saved the display setting on
the Revision toolbar, I never did a Show and uncheck the various settings
there.


Doing so seems to have done the trick.
