I am using Word for Mac on my Macbook Pro with Lion. Everytime I open a particular document in Word, the view shows Markups, which is really distracting. I can go to View, and get rid of the markup view, but then it shows up again each time I open the document. Also, each time I open Word, every document I have worked on in the last few months opens, too. I close each document individually, using File - Close, which I thought would take care of it. But it doesn't, and all these documents open, instead of just the one document I want open. Thanks for any help.

This solution re hiding markup did not work for me. In spite of 1. (within the document) turning off Track Changes, setting Tracking to Final, and unchecking all of the options in Show Markup, 2.

(in Tools) following the suggested steps in the response to the original request for help above, and 3. (when saving) replacing the original document with a Save As/Replace and also saving the document with a new title, the document still opens with the markup showing.

I have to embed this Word doc on a website for a portfolio, and I really don't want anything but the final version to show. Speedy suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

I'm using Word for Mac 2011 14.5.0 on a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.5. Thanks, Joan. I think I've finally found the solution. I don't know if all versions of Word look similar. I'm using Word for Mac 2011.

In the menu bar at the top of your document you have Home, Layout etc. The one on the right is Review. Click on Review. Under 'Changes', I was told there was an Accept All icon or such but I only found a way to Accept each individual markup one at a time. I just rapid-fire clicked on that little Accept icon until I had gotten rid of all the markups, greyed-out words etc.

That is, 'Markup' is checked in the View drop-down menu. And all the documents are highlighted with tracking changes, comments, and history. Whenever I open an existing document in Word 2007 (on Windows XP), word turns on track changes, and changes the display mode to 'Final' (that is, not 'Final Showing Markup' -- so I often don't even notice track changes is on if I don't remember to pay attention.

Then I saved the doc and lo and behold they were all gone the next times I opened it. I think I also did a Save As first so I don't know if that mattered or not. You might also need to make sure Track Changes is set to OFF. I don't think you need to do anything to 'Final Showing Markup' or 'Show Markup.'

Set up a return address for all envelopes. By default, when you print a single envelope, Word uses the return address in your personal settings unless you type a different address. To routinely use a different address, you can specify a different one in your personal settings. On the Word menu, click Preferences. In the mailing address, enter the return address on the space provided and click OK to set default return address. Now let us define your envelope details: Open your Word 2016, click Mailing in the ribbon and select Envelope. Window 10 and Office Word 2016, with a HP P2035 laser printer. Everything worked fine until I installed Office 2016. Now #10 envelopes will not print in the proper position on the envelop regardless of how I change the settings in Word. The printer driver is up to date. Printing normal documents works fine. Printing an address on an envelope word for mac 2016.

This was driving me insane. This fix did work for me (in Word 2008 Mac). Preferences > Track Changes Set all the dropdown boxes to none and uncheck box to show balloons Going to View menus>markup and turning it off usually turns the markup off, but it would not keep it off by default. I even tried modifying the normal template to do this, and it kept showing as on again each time I opened a new document.
