It will show both. However, it could show you text that, as far as Word
is concerned, is no longer in the document. Also the changes might
be stored such that they can't be read by themselves but they change
the meaning of the original significantly.
But Ted is correct when he says it's (a) useful and (b) rough and ready
and I jumped on him a bit too much.
Of course, as Ted points out, strings might show you all sorts of things
the author didn't want you to see :-) I think this has been on comp.risks
within the last few months.
