Avoid opening document in Markup Layout

[Guest]

Hi,

When I open a word document, it opens with the Markup view enabled. I have
to manually change the view to disable it as I do not want to view the markup
layout.
How can I avoid this manual setting and open the document in the normal mode?

Yes, and that's why the setting you mention is on the Security tab; it's
meant to save you the embarrassment (and occasionally legal liability) of
having recipients read material they were not intended to see.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply. I found a solution for my problem in one of the other
posts: Tools -> Options -> Security and uncheck "Make hidden markup visible
when opening or saving ". I use word 2003 SP2

But one question again is, even after making the above the setting, if you
have not accepted all the changes, will another user be able to track the
changes by manually choosing " Final Showing Markup" ?

Thanks in advance,
Reena

normal mode?
