Final and Final Mark Up

[Lyte (from NYC)]

How do you get "Final" to show up by default each time you open an existing
document or create a new one?

Each time "Final Mark-Up" always seem to appear and then it have to be
changed back to "Final". Is there a way to set the default at "Final" only?

There is a setting on the Security tab of Tools | Options that governs this;
IMO, there is a reason for its placement on that tab.

If you don't want to *have* markup in your file (as opposed to just not
wanting to see it), then accept all the changes and delete all the comments.
