I have several Excel worksheets embedded in a Word document that goes through
several revisions and need a way to be able to see changes made to the
worksheets.

Not possible, I'm afraid. At least, now without some major VBA code in the Excel
objects. An OLE object, such as an embedded Excel workbook, is only another
graphic, as far as Word is concerned. When you double-click on the object and
work in it, you're actually working in Excel, not Word. So only the Excel
facilities are available and, as far as I know, an equivalent to "track changes"
isn't among them.
