Hiding Track Changes in FrameMaker 9

[Owen, Clint]

It's also easy to globally delete change bars before starting the next
round of revisions.

Hi Luis,

It turns out that your simple solution of using change bars did the
trick. I had at first discarded the idea of doing change bars because it
wasn't particularly specific enough. Then, I realized that the same
problem I was having with the  document, the reviewer would. The amount
of changes would overwhelm any easy way of reading the document. The
developer just wanted some marker indicating that parts of the document
had changed. He preferred the change bars once I brought it to his
attention.

I feel silly for not asking to begin with. In any case, the issue is
fixed.

Thanks,
Joseph Lorenzini
