Tools: Track changes

I must have selected something on one menu or another, because I suddenly found the words I was typing were coming up in red. I was editing, but keeping the changes. I consulted Word Help and came across the answer - Tools: Track changes. You toggle it on and off at the menu as and when you want. I wonder how many more useful tricks Word has up its sleeve?
