You could use an ASCII character, but those are limited to only a select few.

Plus you have the old drawing right underneath the new one to show any changes if necessary -

I do this all the time with schedules, Door, Millwork, etc.
It just makes it so much easier. -

I believe that you could do that using Studio Prime, but that’s going away shortly.
I’m going to say no, but it might be something to ask in Communities

why not just create a specific custom tool set up to the way you want your text box?

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). 😕 -

if you run into any issue where you need to clean your data, go back and watch the back to back MCR’s I did on cleaning up PDF data.
I can also send you the basic recipe for cleaning stacked headers

this is why I’m thinking if he added a custom Tag, it could be sorted that way.
Like the same way it sorts the different disciplines, i.e. Architectural, Mechanical, ID, etc.One of our clients has a standard prefix template they use on their shop drawings, and I was able to build a Custom Set based on those prefixes.
If we add a tag for say Floor Plans, RCP’s, Elevations, we SHOULD be able to group those by those Tags, correct? That way they’re indexed that way in the Set.

that can be achieved using Statuses

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 -

Right?!?! 🤣🤣
Yeah, its not me.
We do still actually print things for the shop from time to time.
