At work we use Office 2007 and the one thing that really bugged me was that a word document would open up showing the markup text and symbols. You can change this setting by going to the ‘Review’ tab on the Ribbon and selecting how you want the document to display under ‘Tracking’
If you just want to see the Final version of a Word 2007 document without the mark-up then do the following:
Office Button > Word Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings >
Privacy Options > Document specific settings
Deselect ‘Make hidden mark-up visible when opening or saving’.
When you next open up a word document you shouldn’t see all the markup.
Edit – seems this didn’t work after all! Darn Microsoft Word 2007… Anyone have any ideas?
