Hi Art,

That's similar to drawing a box around the text but a little easier.  The 
problem is that we would have to go back and delete each one manually.  I think 
the idea Gillian had about using conditional text might work.  Once the changes 
are made it's easy to delete all the text with the "deleted" condition and 
simply turn off the color in the "added" conditional text.
