How to change default to show final in the reviewing bar

[FPD]

I have read the discusions I could find on this subject. However I still
have not observed an answer that works. I have Office 2003. I unchecked the
make hidden markup_visible when operning or saving. I still have the
documents that I open showing the markups. I also created a document with
this unchecked, saved it, opened it and modified it then saved it again. I
open it and the final showing markup is still in effect. I realize why
Microsoft did this as a default. However, can't I overrule it?

Any help wouild be appreciated.
Regards, Frank

Hi Frank,

I have read the discusions I could find on this subject. However I still
have not observed an answer that works. I have Office 2003. I unchecked the
make hidden markup_visible when operning or saving. I still have the
documents that I open showing the markups. I also created a document with

Have you tried using an AutoOpen macro? Record a macro when changing the display
setting. If you name the macro AutoOpen it should run when Word starts.

One important question is: When should the macro execute?

If you want it to run all the time, for all documents, you need to save it in
the default, Normal.dot template.

If it should run only for the one document, save it in that document.

If you want it to run only for all documents created from a particular template,
save it in that template.
