Hi, Gordon: It sounds as if you're not saving the files in the state you want them to open in. The display of element boundaries and tags, as well as text symbols, and borders, and zoom percentage, are all saved with files. A quick way to manipulate multiple files is to use Shift+File. When used from a book window, the Open All, Save All, Close All, actions only work on book files; when used from a non-book window, the Save All and Close all work on all open files, book members or free-standing.
