Final Showing Markup (Word 2002 SP3)

[JimmyLee]

Hi all,

One of our business areas has form letters and just got Office XP SP3 installed in about 6 - 8 pcs.

The unit has business letters (form letters) that are opening up with Final Showing Markup on all the 6 - 8 pcs.
The unit really wants Final instead of Final Showing Markup. Office XP was deployed to the business area and 6 - 8 users have the same problem"

What is the default setting? Is there a way to global change the setting to Final (there are up to 100 documents that would need to be changed).

The way I see Word is that Final Showing Markup seems to be the default.; is that correct?

TIA,

Jimmy Lee

Here's a relevant thread on this from last week: Opening without MS gimmicks (Win XP / O2003). Search strategy was final showing markup. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the link. I probably saw that thread (which was for Word 2003). Word 2002 doesn't have that feature to turn off in the security tab.

I guess this is how Word 2002 works.

Thankis again.
