Having Revision Bars Persist after Accepting Changes
I am working on changes to a version of a document. I would like the revision bars that come with tracked changes to persist after I accept the changes.
The reason I want to do this is because I'd like to release the latest version of the document with revision bars so my readers can see what's changed. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this need. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Melissa |

Place the cursor on the first line you wish to have the revision bar.
Then have a look at Page Layout > Page Backgound > Page Borders. Select the Borders (first) tab. This will allow you to create a vertical bar similar to what you would do in formatting a table. Note: If you select multiple lines, make sure that Paragraph is selected in the Apply to combo box. Once created you can select the bar (click and hold) and drag it left or right. |

For paragraph-level "imitation change bars", I'd use the border properties in a paragraph style. Unfortunately, it seems this is not available for words within a paragraph.

The way I used to do this was to accept all revision deletions for which there was an associated addition. For deletions where there wasn't an associated addition, I'd make one (e.g. replace a space character) and accept the deletion. That way, I could produce a document with additions in red and/or change bars in the margins. Once the update had been distributed, I'd accept all the additions, too, so all there'd be is a plain document waiting for the next round of revisions.
