Word 2007 hide tracking changes not working for me when Open File

[Jugglertwo]

I have question related to have the tracking changes not appear when a Word
2007 document is opened. I have followed the suggestions that say one can go
the the Security options and remove the check on the checkbox about Not
Showing markup changes.
With this unchecked, when I open a file with tracking the tracking still
appears. I want the tracking to not show up but can't figure out how this is
supposed to actually work. I am following the procedures as I understand them
but the tracked changes still appear when I open the file.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
thanks!

If you clear the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" option
(in Word Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings | Privacy Options),
you can then make use of the Show Markup list (on the Review tab) to decide
what should and shouldn't display in your document.

Note that the "Make hidden markup..." option is for your machine/your
installation only; it doesn't control what others see when they open the
document or their computers.
