quick question: symbol for multiple versions

[tamaranth]

I'm trying to come up with a symbol / icon to indicate that information in a paragraph applies only to the current version / differs in previous versions / has changed. Have considered and discarded 'pencil editing', 'multiple folders' and the actual version number. Can anyone think of a symbol that conveys 'look out for different info elsewhere'?

Change in font colours?

Must admit I tend to use something like

[v9.2 only]

[pre v9.0]

Pick up 'Windows XP for Dummies' or any similar book in the series. They make effective use of paragraph icons and probably have what you need, as they were forced to address changes from the previous vesions of Windows.

I'd probably go with an indented paragraph, maybe in a box, with a little text reminder heading about the exact old version number. The more you set it off like that, the easier for the non-target audience to skim down and ignore it.

I think I once had a dream about you and tech writing!
