Byron Baxter Report post Posted February 12 I have seen inserted text underlined, italicized, or in bold print. When a sentence has been struck and new text is inserted, is there a standard rule regarding differentiating the new text from the struck text? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jstackpo Report post Posted February 12 Not that I know of. A sort of ad hoc "standard" might be Micro$oft's Track Changes (AKA "redline") system. I, professionally, review a fair number of bylaw amendment texts and it is very easy to spot any embedded changes with that system. (This is not a commercial.)

When a sentence has been struck and new text is inserted, is there a standard rule regarding differentiating the new text from the struck text? It has become common procedure, perhaps just through custom, that when a document such as bylaws (or a state statute or city ordinance) is being amended, strikethrough is used to indicate text which is being struck out by the amendment and underlining is used to indicate new text being inserted. I don't know what the custom is, if any, regarding the use of italicized or bold print. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathan Zook Report post Posted February 15 Strikethrough and underline is certainly the custom observed where I have been. This has served well, even in fairly complex rules changes. But there is no rule. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
