Try as I might, I don't see how it can be done. Thanks for your help.

    afaik, change bars show up either A) after applying a Condition that applies them or B) after applying them directly through the Paragraph Designer or the Character Designer. After a quick experiment, I've located:

    • type A change bars by searching for Conditions: the Conditional Text tab lets you see which condition(s) use a change bar
    • type B change bars by searching for Character Format – this would be easier if someone could tell me how to set the Find Character Format dialog to As is with one click

    Hi Niels,

    When you select Character Format in the Find text box, FrameMaker opens the Find Character Format dialog.

    When you click outside of a text frame so that the insertion mark is not placed in text, FrameMaker will set all elements to As Is.

    If the insertion mark was inside of text, then all elements inherit the current settings.

    Then press SHIFT + F8 to to set all elements to As Is.

    This is explained in the online help:
