Depends on your goal -- if you want to frustrate Frame-hating co-workers, it seems to be working. ;-) In the absence of such a goal, though, I'd say it's a really bad idea. I can't imagine working that way. Even if I needed to mark changes as I worked, I'd do it manually so that only substantive changes get marked, not automatically updated things like xrefs and trivial edits like typos. A much better way to track changes, IMO, is to use FM's Compare Documents function (File > Utilities > Compare Documents; check the manual or help for info about the options available). Run the comparison after you're finished updating the document, comparing it to the previous version -- you did save the previous version before starting to make changes, right? > Thanks for any answers, and have a pleasant weekend!
