I don't find this true at all. Occasionally I receive a document from
someone else containing tracked changes, in which case the Reviewing toolbar
is displayed and the view set to Final Showing Markup, but other than that,
I never have Track Changes turned on in any of my documents, new or old.
Perhaps you are inadvertently pressing Ctrl+Shift+E or Alt, T, T?
