How to control viewing options

[Tom Adams]

I have a document that has the fields all revealed and it has a big
fat margin on the right that I don't want.

I can toggle individual field codes, but when I save the document and
reopen, the field codes are visible again!!

1. Is there a way to toggle all the field code to make them
disappear?

2. Is there a way to save the document so that the field codes are
not visible when you open the document again?

Also, comments are showing in a big margin to the right. I can turn
them off with Review - Show Markups, but if I save and reopen the darn
fat margin on the right comes back and I have to hide the markups
again.

Alt+F9 will toggle the display of all field codes in the document (except
for XE and TC fields, which are formatted as Hidden text). If you close Word
with this option toggled off, it should stay off, but you can change the
setting explicitly in Office Button | Word Options | Advanced: Show document
content: "Show field codes instead of their values."

The markup area reserved for balloons is displayed only if the text contains
markup (comments or tracked changes). You can opt not to display comments
and revisions in balloons: Review | Tracking | Track Changes | Change
Tracking Options: Use balloons: Never (or click Balloons in the Tracking
group and choose "Show All Revisions Inline"). And of course, if you Accept
All Changes and Delete All Comments, you won't see any markup at all.
