Turning of Track Changes in Word 2007

[ianuxb]

By default, I want track changes to never occur on my Word documents. I am using Word 2007, and where I used to be able to select 'Turn Off Track Changes' in previous versions of Word, this time when I select 'Final', turn off all tracking options, and ask it never to track, every bloody time I re-open Word its set to 'Final Showing Markup' by default.

I understand it is easy enough to 'Accept All Changes' and set track changes to 'Final' every time I open Word, but I never want to use it ever again...I HATE IT!

Please, someone, can you tell me know I absolutely turn the whole thing off by default so I never have to see it again? Word Help is about as much use a chocolate tea pot...

Click on the Review tab of the stupid ribbon control
Click on Track Changes, which drops down a menu - you'll see that the track changes option is highlighted
Click it to turn of tracking.
