Revision marks (bars)

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

Why don't you use conditional text? It is as easy to apply
as any character format or the change bar: CTRL+4 and then
the first character of the condition name. But it's easier
to hide the condition indicator or to hide the text or to 
delete the condition.

Best regards

Winfried
