On opening Word files with tracked changes, they always open in "Final Showing Markup" display. How can I set Word so that it always opens these files in "Final" display?
 
This is a default setting within Word 2002, 2003. To workaround this you
can create a Com Addin using the following code as a sample.

The Code Sample:
Connector


Dim myWord As New Class1

Private Sub AddinInstance_OnConnection(ByVal Application As Object, ByVal
ConnectMode As AddInDesignerObjects.ext_ConnectMode, ByVal AddInInst As
Object, custom() As Variant)

If Application.Name = "Microsoft Word" Then

If Left(Application.Build, 2) = "10" Then

Set myWord.myApp = Word.Application

End If

End If

End Sub



Private Sub AddinInstance_OnDisconnection(ByVal RemoveMode As
AddInDesignerObjects.ext_DisconnectMode, custom() As Variant)

Set myWord = Nothing



End Sub

CLASS Module:

Public WithEvents myApp As Word.Application



Private Sub myApp_DocumentOpen(ByVal Doc As Word.Document)



With ActiveWindow.View

.ShowRevisionsAndComments = False

.RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal

End With



End Sub



Private Sub myApp_NewDocument(ByVal Doc As Word.Document)

With ActiveWindow.View

.ShowRevisionsAndComments = False

.RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal

End With

End Sub
