I haven't tested "Track moves," but I can confirm that "Track formatting"
isn't 100% reliable. It seems as if Word tracks the creation and
modification of styles, even if you turn off "Track formatting" in the Track
Changes Options dialog box. :-(

'Track Moves" is just awful. (1) It only works on complete
"sentences" (as Word defines "sentence") or bigger; (2) it doesn't
work on text of any length that contains Tracked Changes; (3) it can't
be Rejected with Reject Change (I didn't try Accepting, but if _that_
doesn't work, it would be utterly useless); (4) you can't make Tracked
Changes in a Moved passage.
(Track Formatting is just annoying. It insists on using balloons, so
even if you _want_ to record a style change or a font change, it uses
up space that the Comments need. And turning it off, even in the
normal.dotm template, doesn't stick.)

the
compatibility mode where track moves is not used) and forgot about track
formatting.

You can get this to work for you. (Set insertion markup to none,
deletion
markup to hidden, and balloons to comments and formatting only. Also
