Color Coding
AWAS supports color-coding the text of a document. Color coding is very useful for revision control and document review.
The following table illustrates a recommended color coding scheme. The table contains colors and hidden text. You can view it in Word with hidden text displayed.
Color | Explanation |
|---|
Auto | Default color |
Pink | Text that requires further consideration or careful review |
(Hidden red) | Questions, comments, information for future versions of the book, or other information that is not for publication |
Yellow highlight | New or revised text |
Turquoise highlight | Text that should be deleted, for the author's attention |
Green, pink, or other highlight colors | Use for special purposes as required |
The colors are not visible in online-help versions of AWAS documents. This is deliberate, so you can use the colors freely without concern for their effect on the online help. That is why you cannot see the colors if you are reading a help version of this book.
The font colors, except for hidden red text, are visible in PDF documents. The highlight colors might be visible, depending on your Word settings. You should clean up the colors before converting to PDF.
Macros for applying and finding color coded are located on the AlmondWeb ribbon tab. You may also apply the colors using the regular Word tools, but it is faster to use the AWAS tools.
