Track Text Edits Change Bars

[_Martha_Burton_]

FrameMaker 8.0 -- Change bars are showing up for adds but not for deletes. How do I get the bars to show up for both?

FrameMaker 8.0 - After accepting all changes in a table, the change bars disappeared as expected but the paragraph marks remained green. How do I correct this?

Martha, what specific version of FM8, from Help > About, the "pxxx" numbers

Version 8.0p266

It would be a good idea to update to p277 in case this happens to have been an issue that was addressed. Note that there are two updates and that FM updates are not "roll-up" so you need to do both, in sequence. As a general rule I usually reboot prior to updating and also in between updates.

Thank you for the help. I installed the updates, but unfortunately, neither of my problems were fixed.

Martha, I haven't seen this particular problem in either 8 or 9...

My first thought was that some of the changes were included in other Conditional Text settings so that some of the changes weren't fully applied because some text was hidden by another condition... So you may want to check to see if there's any overlap. But that's just a guess.

And one thing you can try is saving one of the files out to MIF to clean up any stray characters that may have crept in.

It happens if you select the text and then press delete. If you delete the text otherwise change bars will come.

I tried Ctrl X, adding a space, delete. None of these options add the change bar to any of my deletes. I am investigating the Conditional Text settings, but so far have found no solution.

Are Track Text Edits conditional text tags that can be modified?

[Arnis Gubins]

Martha,

These are a special case of Conditional text that you can't modify,
i.e. they're hard-coded in FM.
