Andy,
The last windows word I used was 2000. The balloon type and the OO type
both seemed cluttered to me, but my writings are more simplistic and not
colabrative..
I will continue to look around for any OO enhancements for you.

Well, yes, that's what I'm using (the track changes feature). But what
I would like is a display of track changes similar to the one Word
2003 gives (see picture at
http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/word2003.jpg) instead of the one OO
seems to use, at least by default
(http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/oo2.jpg).
Thanks-
Andy

Andrew,
Sounds like you are looking for some sort of version control. Please
check out this article about version control features in Open Office:

I'm collaborating with colleagues on a project, and ahve been
overruled on my preference to use LaTeX in emacs. We'll be using
word/OO to swap and track changes.
My question is this: Word has a very nice layout for track changes
in which deleted text gets put in the margin in a little "balloon,"
then a dotted line points to the point in the text where the
deletion was made. This makes the text a lot easier to read than the
old version -- which seems to be OO's version -- in which the
deleted text is redlined but kept within the document.
Is there any way to get a similar view in OO?
Thanks.
