Can I change the default setting in the Display for Review window? I'd like
to set it to "Original" as opposed to "Final showing markup."

Also, can "Markup" under "View" be turned off by default?

Thank you.

I take it you're talking about when you open a document containing markup? You
shouldn't be seeing this when creating a new document, or opening a document
wih no markup...

In Tools/OPtions/Security you can deactivate the option to always show markup
when opening or saving a document. The reason this is active by default and
under security and not, as you might first think, under "Track Changes" is that
too many people where sending documents by email containing sensitive
information. Because the markup wasn't "right in their face", users didn't
realize the documents contained it. Very embarassing...

I tried that, Cindy; however, the change doesn't take. Even with the change
to the Security settings, any document I open which has been changed is
showing the tracked changes. The only way to NOT view the changes is to do
the toolbar click to Show FINAL. I was hoping for a more permanent solution
such as having my toolbar default to the FINAL option instead of the FINAL
SHOWING MARKUP option. Any ideas as to how this can be accomplished?

Deactivating "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" should do this.
If it's not, you might try Help/Detect and Repair.

Other than that, the only thing would be an AutoOpen macro in your Normal.dot to
make this setting every time a document is opened.

Sub AutoOpen
Application.Options.ShowMarkupOpenSave = False
End Sub
