Hi Dan - Check out the "expand markers" function in the IXgen demo you just ordered. Marker text will be elevated into the main body text flow, with a character tag applied to it. You can change the particulars of that character tag to best suite your visual needs (color, size, weight, etc -- just don't rename the tag). Do note that lifting marker text into the main body text will temporarily change the pagination of your document, but I assume that's not an issue for a marker review copy. When done, you can use the IXgen "collapse markers" function to return the marker text to their source markers; your pagination will return to what it was before (assuming you've not made changes to the body text.) While the marker text is exposed, you can make edits to it, though for the majority of marker editing tasks, the Editable Marker List is used. (Your choice; IXgen just provides more than one way to do some things.) Often Expand Markers is used if you are doing a find/change in the body text and also want to pick up any occurrences in markers.
