Easily switch between editing, reviewing, and viewing documents in Word

Your terminology makes no sense, speaking as a copyeditor. I edit documents. I do it with track changes turned on, because the author gets to review my edits. Yet editing mode automatically turns track changes off, and reviewing mode has it on. It's confusing, bizarre, and annoying--and honestly, I kind of wish you'd give us all the option to just simply *turn off* all the collaboration stuff altogether. I don't use it, and I don't need it mucking things up. Our process is straightforward, and only one person works on any given document at any time. But unfortunately, there's no way to simply turn the collaboration features off. I really, really wish that there was such an option.
