I talked to the bosses and they want to edit the document, accept the
changes
and then putting a rev bar in the right margin on the lines that were
changed.

Once the changes have been accepted, how will you know what has been
changed?

Is there a way to create a macro that had a popup form that would
ask how long a line to draw in inches. Then starting on the line that the
curser was in it would draw a line that long in the right margin. The form
I
know how to create, it's the macro I'm not sure about.


I wouldn't think there is a need to have the form anyway. The length of the
line will want to be the same as the current font size. Lines are apecified
in points in VBA.

In order to draw the line, look up the AddLine method of the Shapes
collection in the VBA help.
