They work for me. Perhaps they don't work the way you expect. If you want to turn off change bars, so that they're no longer applied when you make a change, you use "Esc o b" and turn the function off in the dialog that opens. Turn them on again in the same way. If you already have a change bar applied, and you want to delete it, then you can use Ctrl+Shift+H. The problem is that the shortcut toggles the change bars, and change bars is a character property. The easiest way to do it is: 1. Select a range of characters bigger than where the change actually occurs. If possible, it's often easiest to select the entire paragraph. 2. Press Ctrl+Shift+H *twice*. The first time, change bars are applied to all characters. The second time, the change bars are removed. Or, use the Find function to search for change bars, and then press Ctrl+Shift+H *once*. Since the search selects the exact characters where change bars are applied, you only need one press to remove them. -- /Thomas Michanek (kind of expert on FM)
