In the newest version of Word (16.114.2) track changes are no longer displayed on a Mac or a MacBook Air. Any changes are solely in black, and strikethroughs aren't shown as such. A deleted word simply disappears with no evidence it was ever there. All the instructions for displaying track changes are activated, as with the previous version of Word.

    Someone else posted a similar complaint today, so it's possible this is a new bug. You can reports bugs by using Help>Feedback>Report a problem, which sends it to the Word for Mac programming team.

    Word for the web is the online version of Word.
