I edit a document and then set the view to 'Final' so that no markups are
shown and then save, next time the document is opened, it opens with all
markups showing. How can I set the Word to open the document without showing
the markups. I want to email the document to someone else and I do not want
my markups to be visible to the recepient.
Thanks
 
Your markup *will* be visible to the recipient unless you accept all the
changes in the copy you send. That is the whole reason why Word opens in
this view, so that you don't inadvertently send out a document with markup
in it. If you *really* want to disable this security feature, find the
option on the Security tab of Tools | Options.
