Hi Lin, The Change Bar properties are in Format | Document | Change Bars. The properties are part of the Page Layout. Therefore you can make these properties part of your template and import the Page Layout with the Change Bar Properties into other files. Does this help or do you already know all this?

I know you can reset the color using Change Bar Properties. The annoyance is you can only do it on a file-by-file or a book-by-book basis. I don't want to have to go into Change Bar Properties to do this. I want it to be part of the default preferences I can set for FrameMaker, so that when I turn the automatic change bar property on, I don't also have to set the color and position, it is already set the way I want. In other words, I want to be able to go into something like the Preferences screen and say, make my change bars red anytime I have them on. As I said, kinda petty, but I figure if they can automatically set it to default to Black, there's no reason the default color can't be set to some other color, right? Oddly, I appear to have given the same response Monique gave back in February to someone in the Adobe Forums who wanted to do something similar. :D Funny how things come around, innit?
