Default view for track changes in word 2003
We have several documents that have track changes enabled.
When we open the document, the default view is "final showing markup". If I want to hide the changes, i have to go to click the drop down box in the reviw toolbar and select "final".
What I would like to do is have the document open so that it always shows the "final" view first. Does anybody know how I can do this?

Dear EE Cleanup Volunteer, dear administrator, dear questioner,
Sometimes it happens that an EE-expert gives a suggestion, an adequate answer, or a solution, but the questioner doesn't give any feedback.
This is against the good practices of the EE, because:
1) It is possible that the questioner uses the answer with good results without granting the points.
2) If there is something that the questioner doesn't understand or if he needs some more help, the expert doesn't know that and can't go to the bottom.
To prevent the growth of that attitude, I suggest to grant the points.
The administrator can choose for an A or a B if the answer was a relevant good working one, or only a suggestion.
In this particular case, the questioner said that he doesn't know how to put my code in his document, and I immediately answered how to do that.
Look also how fast he got his answers.
I think I earn the points and a good grade,
Thanks/Regards,
Lucky Luke

Many thanks and sorry again for the delay.
Luke,
We are just starting to install Office 2003 and getting this issue with a few folks. Your macro solution fix my problem. What I don't understand is why the other solutions don't work. Could their be an issue with the application?

You could place the following macro in your normal.dot
Sub AutoOpen()
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowRevisionsAndComments = False
.RevisionsView = wdRevisionsViewFinal
End With
End Sub
If you don't know how to do that, give me a sign.
