I track changes by using the Compare Documents utility. If you name your files in a way that shows which round of revisions you are on (i.e., Document 01.fm), and do a "save as" before making updates, you can compare the two versions. To compare two versions, you would open the old version first, then the new version, go to the file pulldown menu, select Utilities and Compare Documents. The first option in the dialog box will create a new document with the old text lined out and the new text underlined in different colors (looks like conditional text but both old and new text print). You can do this for multiple documents and give each revision a different color but you have to open all of the documents from oldest to newest. The second option prints a summary of what was changed. The only thing I don't like about this utility is that it doesn't always show changes to text or graphics that are inside an anchored frame. It will show in the summary though, that the content has changed. I hope this helps you. Karen Furia
