Dan, thanks for that incredibly helpful tip! I had no idea that this
functionality existed to insert change bars. Your Alt-o-y-c method
has the added advantage of not changing the character formatting of
the selected text. So, for example, if I put change bars on
italicized text, those italics remain when I remove the change bars.
That was always a big problem for me using my defined character tag
because I had to apply the Default Font to remove the tag and it
reset any other character tags to the Default Font in the process.
Thanks for the time saver!
Carol

We used to use a character tag for change bars, but found that method
made it impossible to use FrameMaker's convenient change bar clearing
feature when we migrated to the next product release
(Format>Document>Change Bars... select "Clear All Change Bars (No
Undo)"). That FM feature saves you from having to search for and remove
your ChangeBar character format from numerous phrases, many of which may
have other character formats, such as Emphasis, also applied.
Instead use the FrameMaker Style called Change Bar. Select the revised
text and use the shortcut Alt, o, y, c. (Format>Style>Change Bar). When
you're ready to start working on your next version, the "Clear All
Change Bars" checkbox will permanently erase all your old change bars so
you're ready to start marking your new edits.
- Dan
