Yes, I agree with all. We never make changes using the toolbar. It is just informational for us.

For me, at least, having a quick visual cue about this without having to open a Designer window is a small time (and screen real estate) saver.

In other applications, the use (mostly overuse) of this capability is one of the things that I find most irritating ... when people mess with a particular document (Word documents and Powerpoint presentations are the worst!) and then expect things to NOT get screwed up when the template is changed or updated or someone applies the template to the particular file. In FrameMaker, the ability to create char tags, and apply them to text as needed, is a VITAL feature to prevent uncontrolled (usually accidental and unknowing) changes in the look and feel of text unrelated to what you might be modifying on the screen you are on.
