According to
http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_office_word/archive/2006/10/13/nice-move-move-tracking-in-word-2007.aspx,
"In Word 2007, Track Changes now includes 'move tracking'. If you cut a sentence
or more from one location and paste it to another, it is tracked as a move and
not as a deletion and insertion."
The criterion is apparently "one sentence or more". This seems to be open to
interpretation; for example, if I move a one-word heading including its
paragraph mark, that's tracked as a move.

Of course not! (And the option isn't available in Compatibility Mode.)

That's not useful!

The only way to undo a Move is via Undo -- and if some editing has
been done since the move, it of course all goes away, too.
I will therefore be unchecking "Keep track of moves" ...
