How do I make sure other people see all Tracked Changes in a particular document?

Split from this thread.

I'm running into the same trouble, but on the other party of our contracts. For example, we comment/track changes, but we have no way to make sure that they open the file such that they can see the changes we've made (not everyone is responsible enough to make sure they don't miss these things). Do you know of a way to force comment visibility/all markup in a particular document?

You have no control over other people's settings for Track Changes, unfortunately. On the other hand, the default setting in Word is to (re-)display markup every time a document is opened, so for recipients not to see the markup, they must have changed their settings explicitly.

Since your question is not closely related to the first question in this thread, I'm going to create a new thread for it. Note that (if necessary) you can always click on your display name (it's hyperlinked) to find messages you have posted in the forum.
