Remove Change Bars

[Ridder, Fred]

If you do a Find operation for the character format "Change Bar"
to review each alleged change, you can manually remove the bar 
from any specific instance of the change markup by using the 
Character Designer. When the Find operation highlights an 
instance you want to remove, click the Change Bar checkbox 
*twice* to change it from a black checkmark to an empty checkbox
(the first click changes the black checkmark to a gray, as-is 
checkmark), then click Apply (*not* Update All). The display may 
or may not update immediately, so you may have to use Ctrl-L 
to force FrameMaker to redraw the screen (boy, do I wish Adobe 
would fix *that* shortcoming of FrameMaker...).

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

In FrameMaker change bars are a character attribute.

To remove all change bars, Format -> Document -> Change Bars... from
document or book.

To selectively remove individual change bars from a text range, create a
character tag set to all 'As is' except no change bars, and apply it as
required.

There may be other, guru-level Black Belt methods, but these work for
me.
