However new is always not always better. ADR 2007 exposed the format tools for mark-ups on a “Format and Animation” Toolbar. This was great, especially for use with a Tablet PC where you could easily pick the various tools with a pen as you created mark-ups.

Sadly ADR 2008 has hidden these tools in a fly-out from the

“Change Text“ button. It remembers the last fly-out tool you use, within the current session, but there is no way to make it “stick” open or get these tools on a separate Toolbar. Given ADR exists to allow review I don’t think hiding mark-up format tools is an improvement

.

Maybe something to test before you update from 2007, especially if using ADR on a Tablet PC.
