Although saved in "final" in the review tab, the document when opened the
next time has reverted to "final showing markup". This is a minor
inconvenience, but I would like to fix it if possible. |

That's by design. If you are wanting to get rid of the markup, you need to
accept the changes and delete the comments. If you just don't want to see
them, then there's a Security Options setting that's relevant, but I can't
tell you where to find it because you haven't mentioned what version you're
using.

The tracked changes are visible when you open the document because the
setting "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" in Tools >
Options > Security tab is turned on (which it is by default).
You can turn off the setting. However, you risk distributing documents with
tracked changes without being aware of it. Therefore, it is safer to keep the
setting turned on.
From Word's online help:
"Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving": Displays all comments,
annotations, deletions, and other types of revisions. If you use the use the
Show menu on the Reviewing toolbar to hide some or all of your revisions, and
you select this option, your revisions will appear when you or another user
opens the file. This option does not affect text formatted as hidden.

Tracked Changes remain in the document until *all* have been Accepted or
Rejected & the feature turned off. If you're certain that there is no
confidential or otherwise embarrassing content you can go to Word Options>
Trust Center, click the Trust Center Settings button & clear the check on
"Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving".
Keep in mind that the default setting is for displaying the markup & anyone
with access to the document will be able to display the tracked changes.
