MS Word "Mark-up" won't go away!

[doncalarco]

I sent a word document to a co-worker and she edited it, but now, when I try
to send a "clean copy to someone, it always arrives in "Mark-up" mode. How
do I permanently remove the "Mark-up notes and get a clean document.

Check your settings under Tools > Options > Security. There are a few
options related to Track Changes and Markup...including one to open in
Markup mode.

That seems to work for me, when I open the document, but when I "send" it to someone, it opens on their computer with all the mark-up. I am sending contracts to clients, and I want it to go "clean". How do I eliminat6e the Mark-up completely?

You have to realize that hiding the markup is not the same as getting rid of
it. You must turn Track Changes off and then Accept All Changes in Document
and Delete All Comments in Document. If you want to keep a marked-up copy,
then accept changes and delete comments in a copy of the document.

To add to Suzanne's correct reply, also open Outlook and under Tools,
Options, Preferences, Email options, Advanced Email Options, clear the check
box at the bottom, "Add Properties to Attachments to Enable Reply with
Changes." (This is the little beast is also responsible for opening the
Reviewing Toolbar unexpectedly.)
