Tracking and Showing are two different things and have separate on/off
switches. That's the key point.
Tracking means that new edits are being actively tracked as changes. Once
tracked, that change is stored IN the document until it is removed.
Tracking defaults to OFF.
Showing just means it will show changes if any exist in the document, but
not create any additional ones. Word 2003 forces a default of ON for
Showing, to protect people from accidentally sending out documents with
tracked changes.
