Default How do I set up Track Changes so that it doesn't flag deletions?

I'm running Word 2002 SP-2. I the previous version of Word that I ran, you
were able to specify in Track Changes that you didn't want deletions to be
marked. I'm editing a document now, and all I want to do is show a line down
the outside of the page for changes, but all it will let me do for deletions
is show them scored through or with balloons. Surely Microsoft haven't made
the Track Changes feature less user friendly for Word 2002?

Looks like I'll either have to do it the old fashioned way and draw the
lines on with the cursor, or I'll have to bodge it by turning off Track
Changes to make my deletions, turning it back on again and inserting a space,
both of which will be exceedingly irritating and time consuming, and are in
my opinion quite a large step backwards.

Anybody know if I can highlight deletions with a line down the side of the
page only?
