    comparing a text document is a bit different.
    I’d do what Dave suggested and put them side by side, turn on the sync and start reading.

    With a 20 page difference, any differences shouldn’t be too hard to spot.

    Highlighter tools will become your friend.

    I really need to set mine up more.

    The feature I love the most on mine is the left/ right scroll wheel. Very handy for Excel sheets, but also for side to side scrolling on a set of plans. (you have to enable this in your Preferences btw)
    I also have two buttons set up to move between Tabs

    I looked at the release notes and wasn’t going to bother, then another member of my team updated.
    What he found was that they hid a few updates. They’ve updated the Custom Column popup interface to be more in line with the other popups (before it was stuck in Revu 2017).
    There was also a Word plugin fix, which I use, so we’ll see where that goes.
    Still haven’t fixed the custom labels issue though (since they can’t seem to reproduce it on their end). 😕

    While a custom column could be created in Revu for tracking, my thoughts are that it’s not the best location for it.
    Now if this was being entered by someone in the field, then sure, it could work. Then the data could be exported and analyzed in either Excel, Power BI, or whatever BI solution that you’re using.

    Why not simply use Studio?

    All of the above.
    I also have quite a few Custom line styles that we apply as well.

    As for line weight, I tend to keep them at 1 but sometimes you need to show them thicker.

    Pretty sure the driver is up to date as its a network printer, but who knows.

    The text does show in the Print Preview window.
    I’ll have him try the Print as image though

    that’ll do it.

    When I set up a template file, I just delete all the table rows except the top one, then clear the data in that top row. Just leave yourself a header row and one blank row.

    At that point to you can record a macro to refresh and place it on a button.

    What yours was doing was creating a Connection Only Query,
    You could have fixed this by opening the Queries and Connections pane (Data> Queries and Connections) then Rt. Click> Load to.

    keep learning

    you can also copy/ paste the code into the advanced editor if you need to.
    Home> Advanced Editor.

    @DavidCutler
    Places can be found on the Links Panel.
    They are similar to a Space, but slightly different.
    A Place would be something that multiple things can be linked too, like a section detail.

    @troy-degroot
    they are.
    Far too manual for my liking

    I’ve tried that, its tricky and time consuming to set up.

    I wish the Hyperlink abilities of Spaces were better.
