I assume you want a black vertical bar in the margin of your document
to indicate changes against prior versions.

Well, that's quite easy:

\marginpar{\rule[-offset]{width}{height}}

For two-sided documents, you should use

\marginpar[\hfill\rule[-offset]{width}{height}}]%
{\rule[-offset]{width}{height}}}

(the % used to invaltdate the newline, so the line fits better)

Put this in the first line of your changed paragraph.
The offset moves down the bar (because its negative), for width
I would recommend 1mm or 0.5em, and as height the height of your changed
paragraph.

Please note that a \parbox will not be cut between pages.

The information herein is taken from H.Kopka, Latex: Eine Einf\"uhrung,
Addison-Wesley (Germany). I somewhat condensed and translated it.
