Default Vertical line in margin

I am writing a revision to a document. I am required to denote changes with a line right of the edited material along the right margin. I can get the line using paragraph borders and shading, but the entire paragraph winds up with the line instead of just the affected lines.

Default Vertical line in margin

Turn Track Changes on and set Tools | Options | Track Changes: Changed lines
to "Right border." If you want to show *only* changed lines, you'll need to
set the formatting of insertions to "None" and deletions to "Hidden." But be
aware that if you are sending the document electronically, the way it is
displayed on the recipient's screen will depend on the local Track Changes
settings, not yours. If you're printing the document, however, this will
give you what you want.
