The probable reason your code doesn't work is that it:
a) captures the current setting,
b) turns on track changes,
c) restores the original setting.
So, unless track changes was already 'on' when you started the macro, it would be 'off' again once the macro has finished running. All you need is:
ActiveDocument.TrackRevisions = True
which hardly seems worth a macro - you can achieve the same result by adding the 'track changes' option to the status bar, then clicking on that any time you want to change the state.
