I just posted the wrong question on how to distinguish tracking colors
between different users.
What I should have asked is, is it possible to use different colors
for insertions and deletions in Word XP tracking mode?
(It doesn't appear on the tracking option dialogue box.)
 
Not without a macro. This has been fixed in Word 2003.

Is there a macro out there that does it, or do i have to write one from scratch?
I think this is a serious flaw.
 
Which "this" doesn't work, the URL to google.com or the macro that's
shown there? If you can't get the URL to work, here's the macro
(posted by Greg Maxey):

Sub TrackChanges()
'
' Thanks Shauna!! Shauna Kelly provided me
' the basic format of this macro last year when I started
' using Word2002. Alter which lines run by adding or moving
' (the apostrophe) before each line.

With Application.Options
.RevisedLinesMark = wdRevisedLinesMarkOutsideBorder
.RevisedLinesColor = wdAuto
' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkCaret
' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkStrikeThrough
' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkNone
.DeletedTextColor = wdRed
' .DeletedTextMark = wdDeletedTextMarkHidden
.InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkItalic
.InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkNone
.InsertedTextColor = wdBlue
' .InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkUnderline
' .InsertedTextMark = wdInsertedTextMarkColorOnly
' .InsertedTextColor = wdAuto
' .RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkColorOnly
' .RevisedPropertiesColor = wdAuto
' .RevisedPropertiesMark = wdRevisedPropertiesMarkColorOnly
' .RevisedPropertiesColor = wdViolet

End With
End Sub

If you can't get the macro to work, how are you trying to use it?
