The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Piece o'cake. Open the Tools menu, select Options (or Preferences if you're
on a Mac), then click the Track Changes tab. Towards the bottom, you'll see
a field labeled "changed lines". Set that however you'd like, and away you
go. Me, I never use this feature, since my edits are generally heavy enough
that the entire document would have one long, vertical line along the
margin. <g>
