How to disable "Show all formatting marks" in the registry

Hi,

I'd like to set the "Show all formatting marks" options in the Word options with the registry. However, I can't find a corresponding value in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options key.

Is there a way this can be set straight in the registry?

Thanks!

This option does not have a separate registry setting. The simplest way to handle it locally is to add the line

ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = True

to both an autoopen and an autonew macro in the normal template. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
