You all offered some very good suggestions and I do appreciate your help! I�ll enter this information into the Framemaker option/feature request area. Maybe Adobe will consider adding this option/feature to make it simple for those of us who are developing huge documents.

Bill D�.. Thank you for your suggestion on moving Change Bars pages into a PDF file. Another option would be to Save the original file and delete unwanted pages�.same result.
Everett�. Thank you for your suggestion on using the compare feature in Acrobat 5.0. I haven�t tried that before. I will give it a try.

Robert�. Thank you for letting me know how to use the Find/Change dialog box to find Change Bars. This is very helpful.
Thomas�. Thank you for the Shift+F8 shortcut. That makes it easier to configure the Find/Change dialog box.

Bill S�.. Thank you for suggesting the use of Conditional Text. Now that�s thinking outside of the box.
I came-up with a little twist to your suggestion. I think it could solve my first question if I made all text in my manual Conditional first. For example, if I applied a Conditional tag to all text call �Final Draft� then as I made changes, I could apply a Conditional Tag called �Change Bars� only to the text that changed. I could then instruct Framemaker to �Hide� �Final Draft� and �Show� �Change Bars.� This would only show text that had been changed, which would allow me to generate a PDF file of only the changed text. What do you think?

BTW, I think this answers William�s question, �doesn�t Framemaker offer the capability to control the display of text tagged in a certain way?

Thanks,
Chris Mack
