Can Show Formatting Be Defaulted to Off?

[Big Jim]

Whenever I print a document that has track changes enabled (which is all of
the time, since I'm a lawyer) the track formating changes are shown in
ballons unless I manually turn them off before I print. Causing my printout
to have small font squeezed to the left and hard to read. Very annoying.

I'd like to be able to just print a doc from outlook and have it print with
tracked formatting changes turned off. Actually, I would mind if I could set
it to off in all cases unless I manually turn it on. I use in-line track
changes most of the time and occasionally comments, which I don't mind being
in a balloon. If there was a way to delete this feature from Word on my PC,
I would do it.

I'm using Word 2003. Thanks!
