The width of the change marks (change bars) cannot be changed.  I need to be
able to make them thicker.

In the Options dialog, under Text Document/Changes int the "Lines changed"
section, add a control to permit setting the width of the change marks. 
Ideally, you could specify the unit of measurement (points, inches, mm, etc.)
for the thickness.

Currently only the color of the line can be changed. Additionally the capability
of changing the line style could be a nice feature.

mru, hadn't thought of that.  Also, the list of colors doesn't include the "by
author" that the other change settings have.

Line style...  Now you've done it, you've given me more ideas.  Instead of
drawing lines, WordPerfect prints a user-selectable character in the margin. 
This could be extended to allowing graphics like bullets can.

This is more of a change than I was envisioning, and I would be happy just with
selectable thickness.

Making the Changes settings like this per-document, and overriding rather than
replacing the global settings, would be a godsend, but that's beyond the scope
of this issue.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
