Annoyance: Documents opening in markup mode

I think my word is configured to open in markup mode, because no matter if I
save a document in normal or print, it always appears in markup mode as
well.

I don't want it, so I recently added the following code to my documents, to
switch off markup mode, when the document is opened.

Sub Document_Open()

WordBasic.ViewChanges
   If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then
       ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView
   Else
       ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
   End If
End Sub

Is there a way to switch markup mode off through word options, or is there a
way to add the above code to my personal macro workbook, so that all
documents open normally?

Kind regards
Dylan

I think what you want (in Word 2003) is Tools > Options > Security tab >
uncheck "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving"

Thank you!

I looked in Tools > Options before, but couldn't see the setting -. I think
the wording is a bit ambiguous.

Thanks

I looked in Tools > Options, before, but couldn't see the setting - I think
the wording is a bit ambiguous. However, now I notice that this doesn't stop
markup from being displayed when I open a document. I suspect it may have
something to do with the administrator's security settings.

My macro works fine. But, at present I will need to enter it into every
document. Is there a way to add it to my "normal.dot", so that it acts on
every document I open.

Kind Regards
Dylan

I found the solution in ms.p.w.docmanagement.

The solution is to accept all changes and to make sure the TRK at the bottom
of
the frame is greyed out to avoid tracking further changes.

I'm a bit confused on this.
Does this mean that for every document you have to accept the changes and
then hit TRK on the bottom and then save?
I'm having difficulty with this because when I batch print from Adobe PDF it
includes all the comments and every document has a date on it.
So everyday when I open the document the date changes in the footer meaning
I have to accept it everytime.
By the way, how to you enter a macro into the dot file?

Miguel,
If you do not intend to track changes then you should be OK.
You should only worry about track changes if the TRK at the bottom of the
document is toggled ON or very dark in color.
See this website about track changes, note the link about security and why
you might want certain options enabled to tell you if track changes is ON
before you send a document to someone else.
