How do I keep the inserted Object in a Word .docx from being highlighted yellow? I check the "Turn off Highlight" box in Restricted Editing, but it comes back on at reboot.

How do I keep the inserted Object in a Word .docx from being highlighted yellow? I check the "Turn off Highlight" box in Restricted Editing, but it is back on when I open it up again. I need it to stay un-highlighted as it is very annoying. What good is the 'Turn off highlighting' box if it does not stay off?

As you have found, although the option to "Highlight regions I can edit" can be turned off, it will be activate again once you close and reopen the document.
