Review in Word 2007

[Kev C]

Can anybody help with this. I have recently installed Office 2007 pro, I have
word documents that have been produced in the previous issue of word. When
some of these are opened, worked on, then saved for some reason when you open
them again it is like I have put it out for review, which I haven't and it
doesnt matter what is then done, ie saved as final in the review tab, it
still opens as before. Can you switch off review in any way, is there anybody
else that has had the same problem?
Thanks for reading.
Regards

By default, Word displays any tracked changes when you open a document. This
serves as a reminder, to prevent you from inadvertently sending people a
document where you haven't finished tracking (which means that the recipients
can see your edits).

You can turn off the automatic display of markup: Office button | Word
Options, Trust Center category. Click the Trust Center Settings button. In
the Privacy Options category, clear the "Make hidden markup visible when
opening or saving" option. Click OK. Note, however, that turning the display
off doesn't prevent others from seeing your markup, if they want to.

Instead, do the following to get rid of track changes permanently in a
document: On the Review tab, click Accept (in the Changes group), and then
click Accept All Changes in Document. Then click Track Changes | Track
Changes, to turn the setting off.
