Revision tracking in Frame? Summary of responses thus far

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Yesterday, I asked whether Frame offered any revision tracking tools  
and if not, what the alternatives might be. In summary:

- Older versions of Frame offer change bars (lines in the margin that  
show changed lines), but not formal revision tracking.

- Conditional text or the use of character styles can be used to  
kludge up your own version of tracking.

- If your reviewers don't have Frame, the text can be sent for review  
by converting it into Word format using MIF2Go, or via PDF. Details  
weren't provided on how easily you can then reimport the Word file or  
PDF into Frame, so that may be a problematic approach for heavy editing.

- Frame 8 has (finally!) added true revision tracking (http:// 
www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/features.html).

Thanks to Yves Barbion, Fred Ridder, and Caroline Tabach. (If I  
didn't reply personally to your message, I didn't see it. Sorry!  
Please send it again.) Additional comments welcomed!
