Change Bars don't appear in CHM output? (Frame12)

Question

Hmmm, one of Frame's more useful features in recent years (for assisting with document reviews) was the ability to automatically add change bars in the margin.

However, these do not seem to make it through to CHM files if I use Frame 12's "Publish" command to generate HTML Help.

Is this another one of those little "integration niggles" that Adobe haven't quite managed to solve yet?

RoboHelp (nor Flare) doesn't have or support change bars, so the FM Publish utilities won't have them either. You'll have to come up with some other method of indicating changes in the CHM. Possible candidates include Character tags (you can search & replace for Change bars using Character Formats) or Conditional text. In both cases having different background colours for different versions/releases would give similar results to change bars (bu you would then be able to track changes over multiple releases, whereas change bars have to be reset every time).
