To prevent Word from tracking formatting changes, deselect "Track formatting" in the Track Changes Options dialog box (Review tab | Track Changes | Change Tracking Options). Then accept or reject the formatting changes that have already been tracked.
To hide formatting changes from view, you will have to deselect the "Make hidden markup visible when opening or saving" option at Office button | Word Options | Trust Center | Trust Center Settings | Privacy Options. Then you can select the option you mentioned on the Review tab.
