How do I track changes in Word without using balloons?

Go to your change tracking options window (on the Review ribbon in 2007,
under the Tools menu in earlier versions). Select underlined for insertions,
strikethrough for deletions, set the color for black, and choose Never for
balloons.

If this helps, please check Yes below.
