I would ignore what MS-Word does completely.

Instead it's a kind of philosophical question how to handle changes:

Leaving automatic spelling-correction aside, how should LO handle the situation
when the user first removed a whole sentence, then retypes it, but essentially
just changed a single word; should the whole sentence be marked as deleted and
re-inserted (that's what the user did), or should just the actual change be
marked (that's what the result of editing is)?

Back to the replaced word: Given the recent changes to fine-control hyphenation
and text flow, I can imagine to add a similar setting for recorded changes.
Say you have a "change threshold" set at 50% by default, so if more than 50% of
the characters in a word (maybe 50% of the words in a sentence, etc.) were
changed, then show complete words or sentences as being changed; otherwise
(assuming such "fine-diff" is possible) mark just the actual differences (the
result of the changes).  Also let the user set that threshold.
