<div dir="ltr"><div><div>This cell padding idea worked ok to accomplish what I need. But I had to set top at 3pt and bottom at 2pt, anything less caused the bars to rejoin as one. I tried to compensate for the added vertical growth by adjusting line spacing and font size, but couldn't exactly match the rows per page that I had before.<br>
<br></div>BTW, for the other replies to this issue: I'm in unstructured frame, and my initial workaround was to draw individual lines beside the rows. It was tedious but worked ok for that delivery. Glad to figure out an easier solution for the next go around.<br>

<br>Although now that I think about it, it may depend on how the table format is set up as far as cell padding is concerned. If all the vertical space around cell contents is provided by the paragraph's space before and space after rather than cell padding, FrameMaker may treat consecutive rows as a continuous block of paragraphs. My tables all use cell padding, and the change bars are only as tall as the paragraph(s) that are marked inside the changed cells.<br>

<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div><div>I have 6-column tables taking up dozens of pages, with each row containing only 1line of text. Due to the customer's request, I need to have the change bars appear as individual change bars beside each row, even along consecutive rows, rather than one solid change bar down multiple rows. Does anyone know how to force Fm10 to do this? I've used tables before where this was possible, but do not know which settings to adjust to make my current table's change bars behave similarly.<br>
<br></div>I tried putting a paragraph return at the end of the text in a cell, then changing it to be a run-on punctuation so that the row doesn't grow. Then selected the changed text in another cell to apply the change bar, but it doesn't work. Once I mark 2 consecutive rows that way, the two change bars join and form only one when the display is refreshed, even with the hidden paragraph return.<br>
