What settings are you using for tracking changes?  If you have Edit | 
Changes > | Record ticked in LibreOffice, you will be preserving the 
original along with the changes.  If you have Edit | Changes > | Show 
unticked, you will see just the edited version and not the hidden 
originals (so your document will look "clean").

When you open a document that includes tracked changes in Word, the 
original items will be there along with the changes.  What you see 
will depend on your Review setting in Word.  In particular, if you 
have this set to Original, you will not see any of the changes.

o If you don't want to track changes, untick Edit | Changes > | 
Record in LibreOffice.
o If you want to track changes but then want to see in Word what you 
have done, change the Review setting in Word.

I trust this helps.
