How do I stop tracked changes from showing

Hi, I'm working on a document (transfered from Word 2004) in which at some point track changes must have been turned on. Now, whenever I open the document, it presents me all my past editing (up to the point when I figured out to turn off track changes). Every time, I need to go to View and unclick Markup and I need to go to View --> Toolbars and unclick Reviewing to stop Word from showing all the past work, which does not interest me. Yet the document fails to remember this setting. The next time I open it, it's back to showing past changes. This is irritating. How do I keep the document from showing the tracked changes?

The **only** way to remove the markup permanently is to turn change tracking
off then Accept/Reject all changes that have been tracked in the document.

Many thanks. That did the trick.

I feel this should be more intuitive and should not require a posting to the message board. I appreciate the swift help, though.
