Word 2016 Tracking Changes

Help needed - 

I am using Word 2016 and need to track my changes in a document.  The document I am editing will not only have new insertions, deletions, but it will also have texted moved from one paragraph to another.  It appears that Word 2016 does not show the text I am moving as "moved to...double underline" and "moved from.....double strikethrough".  It shows it as deleting and inserting.  

In the Advanced Track Changes Options I have checked the "Moves - Track moves".

Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so did they rectify the issue or is it something I have not done correctly.

Thanks for your help!

If you move paragraphs using the shortcut Alt+Shift+Up arrow (or Alt+shift+Down arrow), it will be marked as a move. As far as I know, that is the only situation when the Track Changes feature considers text to be moved.
