Hello Chrisjj,
I did a quick search through help and did not see the specific mention of the teal bar. It appears after a user uses the Align With command in the Text Compare session. We have not had any questions about it from any users until now, so it would appear to be fairly intuitive.
Align With does mention in the Help that you can select multiple lines. I will see about updating our reference material.Aaron P Scooter Software

I didn't see any unspecific mention either.

Except when it doesn't:

Simply completing it would be sufficientThanks.

Thanks, Chrisjj.
It is hard to see which 'state' your screenshot is in. The teal bar should appear when one side is selected for Align With... but the target has not been picked yet. Once picked the teal bar will no longer be present. It is an indicator only during the operation (similar to the Mouse cursor changing to an Arrow w/ Question Mark).Aaron P Scooter Software

That's something that should be in the Help. I suggest.

Well, quite. It would be nice if there was an indication of Align With's in effect.

Hello Chrisjj,
The mouse cursor with the Question Mark, the teal bar, and presence of the Cancel Alignment replacing the entire right-click menu and Edit menu are the current indicators.
If you select a section of text and then select Align With, the above three indicators should be present.
Once you have selected the text to Align to and issue the 2nd half of the command it will re-align the text and the program will resume a normal presentation. This is a temporary command that is undone by an undo or refresh; similar to Ignore.
We have had requests to expand on this functionality (providing additional UI, saving it as part of the session, etc). These points are on our wishlist.
Is this not the behavior you are seeing? A full screen screenshot, showing the right-click menu, edit menu expanded, or the mouse should help troubleshoot this issue.Aaron P Scooter Software

Teal

A teal hue has more green in it... and everyone should know the original CGA color palette introduced to the IBM PC world in 1981: cyan, magenta, and white (or red, green, and yellow if you had a state-of-the-art video card with an alternate palete).

They are not current indicators of what I'm asking for, which is:
Align With's in effect.
"In effect", note.

There is no way to note if Align With has been used in the Text Compare. Note:
Once you have selected the text to Align to and issue the 2nd half of the command it will re-align the text and the program will resume a normal presentation. This is a temporary command that is undone by an undo or refresh; similar to Ignore.

OK, thanks.
