If you switch on revision marking (edit -> changes -> record and edit -> 
changes -> show) then every change you make will be marked in the colour of 
your choice and labelled, too. These changes will be carried across to word 
documents, too, which is nice. On the other hand, word has a much slicker 
display of notes and collaborative edits, which is less nice. 

You can set the colour and other text attributes (not the font, alas) for 
your changes in tools -> options -> Writer -> changes

The only drawback I know to this is that the word count does not ignore 
text you have deleted, which will normally be marked with an underline. I'm 
pretty certain that is fixable with a macro but it would be a time-
consuming nuisance to write, and I am busy.
