Sure, except if I then open the file again it automatically turns
track changes on again. And this happens with every doc I open.
The really annoying bit is that it defaults to not showing any changes/
comments
I think there is a profile or something somewhere on my system that is
overriding the default settings in word. No idea what it could be tho.

Subject: [H] Most annoying Office bug ever (track changes)
This is driving me nuts. At some point in the last few weeks, my
copy of
Word 2007 has decided that every time I open a Word document, it
will turn
on track changes and set the view to "final". This is incredibly
annoying,
since it means I have to go in and change those settings so I can
actually
tell if people made changes or comments in a document.
I've tried deleting my normal word template and completly
uninstalling/reinstalling Office to no avail. Googling seems to
turn out a
lot of stuff about track changes but nothing with regard to this
issue.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this before I tear my hair out?
