I'm afraid it can get complicated. You also have a choice as to whether
you see certain aspects of changes out in the margin, or mixed in with
the text of the document.
Finally, you should be aware that anything that was once in a document
which uses tracked changes may still be there even after you've deleted
or changed it. If you ever wrote "my boss is a jerk" for instance, then
thought better of it and deleted it, then gave him a copy of the Word
document, he could dig up the previous version before your deletion.
You'll need to download and learn how to use MS's "remove hidden data"
tool if you're going to be handing your Word documents to other people
or publishing them in any way.
