Think about it: you've just told given the software to "apply the value I choose to all the revision markup elements which are found inside the portion of the document which is currently selected." And now you're trying to change that selection in the middle of the request? Aren't you glad that XMetaL doesn't let you do that? I can't imagine what chaos would ensue if it did. Here's the sequence of events you want to follow:

1. examine the current values of the attributes you're considering changing

2. set the current selection to the container element enclosing all of the elements whose attributes you want to change

3. invoke the macro, telling it which value you want to use

4. after the macro has finished doing what you asked it to do, navigate to the individual elements whose attributes you want to examine to confirm their settings.

Think about it: you've just told given the software to "apply the value I choose to all the revision markup elements which are found inside the portion of the document which is currently selected."

Yes, I can understand what's you've described in this case. However, my repro steps do not include a "selection" of a portion of the document. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that this behavior is different from XMetal 9. 

In any case, I don't think this is a big deal as long as users know that as soon as they invoke the macro, they will not be able to check the revision level, that should be OK.

As a reminder, quoting from the requirements (OCECDR-3782) for this macro.

Would it be possible to make changes that will enable us to select a section or multiple sections or a paragraph or multiple paragraphs or a combination of both paragraphs and sections then apply the same revision level markup to all markups within the selection?
