Keeping comments from appearing when opening document

[Silas]

I am familiar with how to switch off comments, however, comments
authomatically reappear the next time the doc is opened. I wish to keep them
off unless selected for viewing. Currently to hide comments I am deselcting
Markup under the view column, or in the Reviewing toolbar chossing Original
or Final. What must I do to keep them from automatically showing the next
time the doc is opened?

try Tools\Options\Security tabe and uncheck"Mark hidden markup visible when
opening or saving"

I believe this has solved the issue. Tremedously appreciated.
