Default Track changes: Moves

There's an option under Track Changes to track "moves" (with double
underline/strikethrough in green). But when I move something, it
simply appears as a deletion and an insertion. What gives?


According to
http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...word-2007.aspx,
"In Word 2007, Track Changes now includes 'move tracking'. If you cut a sentence
or more from one location and paste it to another, it is tracked as a move and
not as a deletion and insertion."

The criterion is apparently "one sentence or more". This seems to be open to
interpretation; for example, if I move a one-word heading including its
paragraph mark, that's tracked as a move.
