"Show Button" Default Change

[N.G.Near]

Everytime I open Word (2003), I have to close the following tabs under the
"show button", Comments, Ink Annotations, Insertions Delitions, and
Formatting. I would like to change the default so that these boxes are
normally not checked. How can I do this?

try Tools\Options\Security tabe and uncheck"Mark hiden marup visible when
opening or saving"

Note, however, that what you are suggesting only hides the markup--it's
still there. And if the document is sent to someone else, he or she will be
able to see markup.

Instead, here's how to deal with the problem: Close Word. Rename the blank
document template (normal.dot). Then restart Word; a fresh copy of the
template will be created. For more, see the "Creating a new Normal.dot from
scratch" section of the article at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/blankdocnotblank.htm.

To fix the problem in an existing document: Accept the changes made, and
then turn off Track Changes. See

What does Normal.dot have to do with his question?! His question is about
show dropdown in reviewing toolbar and those things he mentioned are checked
by default so creating a new Normal.dor doesn't make any difference.

My reply was based on the assumption that Track Changes had been
inadvertently enabled for a document or a template. If not, the Show options
on the Reviewing toolbar could just as well be ignored.
