I usually have "Formatting" turned off in Track Changes, but at the
moment I need to indicate when I've italicized or de-italicized
something, and in the balloon, Word2007 insists on listing "Font:
Italic Complex Font: Not Italic." There are no complex fonts anywhere
(for word that means Hebrew/Arabic/Sanskrit etc.), and this can only
be confusing to someone looking at the changes.

Is there any way to get it to ignore "Complex Font"?

I can't explain the "complex font" part, but I have noticed that Word
sometimes tracks formatting changes, even if you deselect the option to
track them. :-(

! I've never had that problem.

Maybe it's like headers & footers -- if you've ever turned them on in
a document, they're there forever. If I've ever turned on a Complex
Font IME, it's there whether there are any in the document or not.

In particular, when you modify or create a style, that change will be
tracked (even if you deselect the "Track formatting" option in the Track
Changes Options dialog box (tested in Word 2010).

Quite possible.
