In Word 2003 and earlier, at least, you can really come quite close. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/RevealCodes.htm. (I just looked at that
article and can see that it needs some help; somehow it has been re-edited
to be nonsense in places, but it still contains a lot of good information if
you can sort through the verbiage to find it!)

Thanks for the feedback, Bert.
You're welcome. Maybe someone else will have the same problem sometime,
and this exchange might help.
You know it's in cases like this that some way of putting *all* the
formatting codes on screen would be enormously helpful. Or am I just
thinking like an ex-WordPerfect user?
