How make documents open in the "Final" view

[Keith Brickey]

Using Word 2003 (11.5604.5606) all of my documents open in the "Final
Showing Markup" view, even though Track Changes is turned off, and the view
is set to "Final" when the document is saved.

This is particularly troublesome when I send someone a finished document,
and it opens in the "Final Showing Markup" view, with the right margin
extended. How can I insure that documents will open in the "Final" view?

Thanks,

Keith

Have you accepted all changes? If not, the markup is still present.

 

[Keith Brickey]

I have accepted all changes and saved the document over and over again. I
still have the same annoying behavior. I am the only person experiencing
this?

There is a setting that controls this on the Tools | Options | Security tab
("Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving"), but if you have
turned off Track Changes and want to finalize the document, then you must
Accept All Changes in Document.

No! you are NOT the only one.... no matter how many times I turn off track

changes and select "FINAL" and unclick "markup" under "VIEW" it all still
comes back. This is especially annoying when I THINK it's turned off and
hit print only to find out I've printed out a document full of markups! As
usual MS is "trying" to be too helpful!

turned off Track Changes and want to finalize the document, then you must

Accept All Changes in Document.

How do you "accept all changes in the document"?

How do you "accept all changes in the document"?

In my version of Word it's Tools menu -> Track Changes -> Accept or Reject
Changes.

On the Reviewing toolbar, click the arrow beside the Accept Change button.
You'll get a menu that includes that option.

Has anyone really answered this question yet because I'd
like to know the answer myself. I've read some of the
other posts but I haven't seen a good answer yet.

When you send someone a finished document, unless you want them to be able
to review all of your revisions, accept the changes.
