hating Microsoft, but need help

[rooter]

hmmmrph, So I know I have to use Microsoft Office 2004, and I am really really trying to learn it, I even bought a book! How scary! One of my many frustrations is *freaking* 'track changes' in Word.
It seems if I make the sad mistake of ever turning it on, then all the documents from now on are filled with that horrible thing, and
I have to uncheck the show comments, changes etc for each file(pic below)
and choose to show final only each time!
How do I simply say DO NOT track changes for all documents from now on?
How do I save the file that I started it on without the changes? Every time I save it, it warns me you are saving a document that is tracking changes - but doesn't give me an option to turn it OFF?!?!?! Anyone know how to fix this?! Please help!

Hi there,

sorry we missed this !

Have you managed to sort it out ? Or do you still need help ?

Nope, still don't know how to make new or any files not have track changes in effect.

Hi there,

this looks like it may help...

I'll have more time later if this doesn't explain it.
