Hi,
I'm working in a structured environment in FM7.2, and the job requires that we save out to SGML. I've been asked to show changes to my documents using a visual element but not change bars (they're already being used) - confused? I hope I can explain it clearly.
We're creating parts lists, so basically we're working with pages of tables. We have the data from the OEM of the parts lists in hard copy. We have to reproduce that list for our client. The hard copy from the OEM shows their changes to the parts list on the left side of the table - we need to keep those marks but we also need to indicate changes to the list where our client has changed parts and we need to show those changes on the right side of the table with change bars. What I'm thinking is if I could use element attribute data to show the OEM (left side) changes and then that allows me to use the change bars for the client (right side) changes. The element for the item/part already has an attribute called 'change'. I recall reading somewhere that attributes can be used like this but I can't recall where I read it. If all that makes sense and it can be done, my question is how to implement it?
Any thoughts on this appreciated.
Carl
