You can't set options for deletions from the user interface (some idiot
removed it in 2002, but it is back in 2003!) but you can do it using VBA.
For example:
Options.DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough
Options.DeletedTextColor = wdRed
You can enter these in the Visual Basic immediate window (Alt - F11,
Ctrl -G). You only need to run the code once.
The options for insertions can be set from the dialog box, or you can use a
similar trick to set the inserted text from VBA.

I have upgraded from Word 2000 to word 2002. In Track Changes, how does
one turn off the balloons and simply show strike-through/underline for
changes as in Word 2000. Selecting Tools/Options/Track Changes and
unclicking Use Baloons in Print and Web layout does not work, since there no
changes appear at all. The baloons are quite annoying.
