Change bars display in structured FM topics, but disappear in book file

[cvgs]

I'm using FM8 in Tech Comm Suite 1 in an XP environment.

I am using the ph tag to indicate changes.  This tag inserts a change bar in the left margin and also highlights the revised text in magenta.

However, when I generate the book file, I will sometimes get change bars and sometimes not.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you've modified the default structure apps (or created your own custom apps) to get this formatting? Note that in FM8 DITA the book output is controlled by the "Book" application and the formatting in the authoring view is controlled by the "Topic" application. Have you made parallel modifications to the Book application that you made in the Topic application?

Scott,

You're absolutely brilliant. We neglected to make the change to the book. edd. You have saved us so much time. We were going to manually put in change bars.
