Default show black vertical lines in the margin where text has been amend

In making and amending a controlled or legal document, it is helpful to put a
black vertical line in the margin to denote where changes have been made in
the most recent amendment. This draws the reader to important changes
without having to compare the old with the new. How would i do this ??

Hi Vince

To do this you use Word's track changes feature. For more information, see
How does Track Changes in Microsoft Word work?
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/trac...ngesWorks.html

In your case, you need to use the "Changed lines" setting at Tools Options
Track Changes, and then on the Reviewing toolbar, use "Final".


Note, however, that while the tracked changes remain un-accepted in your
document, anyone will be able to see both the old and new versions of the
text by choosing to display the tracked changes.

Hope this helps.
