Default Categorizing Tracked Changes

I would love to have an option in MS Word to categorize my tracked changes.
For example, I've been working on a 100+ page document with tons of necessary
changes. Although the user can see just my formatting changes (useful!), I'd
also like them to be able to pull out the actual content changes from the
style stuff - e.g., the spelling mistakes that MUST be fixed, vs. the
suggested sentence reworks, etc. If I could hit a shortcut key to flag a
change as "style" or "substance" (or whatever), it would make it much easier
for the user to work through all my numerous changes.

It seems like there should be a way to do this without too much trouble,
perhaps by setting different "users" to enter different types of changes. Has
anyone ever tried doing this? It seems that this method would be very
cumbersome, but would be worthwhile in a situation like what I've just been
working through!

Thanks,
Jen
