HELP Please! I have documents that ALWAYS open in review pane, no matter if
I turn it off, turn off track changes, set it to Final, turn off reviewers
and save. The next time I open it, it opens with everything back on. It's
driving me crazy and I can't figure out how to stop it from doing that.

In Tools > Options > Security, turn off "Make hidden markup visible
when opening or saving".

The reason this option is on the Security tab is that if you send the
document to someone else without realizing that it contains live
tracked changes, they will be able to see the changes even though you
thought they were hidden.
 
I even tried doing all of this in my normal template and it didn't work
either. This is so damn frustrating!
 
Word 2003 has a bad habit of losing some of its settings. You can control
the ones that offend with auto macros. The following are from my own PC. You
can delete the settings that you don't need or leave them as you wish.

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected
.ShowFieldCodes = False
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected
.ShowFieldCodes = False
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoExec()
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False
CommandBars("Mail Merge").Visible = False
Application.OnTime _
When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), Name:="CodesOff"
End Sub

Sub CodesOff()
On Error GoTo oops
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
oops:
End Sub

You may need to add
ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = False
to the autoopen macro
