I assume that by "ALL the text formatting at the same time" you mean for a
certain selected character or for selected text.
Open the Reveal Formatting Task Pane. Select the text you want to check. All
the formatting attributes are shown in the task pane.
If you need to be sure, remember to "Select, Then Do". Select all the text
you want certain formatting for and then just apply the formatting.

Ok genious, how do you see ALL the text formatting at the same time? For
example, in the world of legal writing, it is important that text and
citations
use several different text attributes (italics, smallcaps, underline,
bold),
and
there are people who get upset if a comma isn't italicized. It's a real
pain to
have to arrow through the text a letter at a time to check on the font
attributes, and it's too easy to miss things like that just by glancing
over
the text and trying to guess based on visual impression. I am not one of
those individuals gifted with the ability to discern whether or not a
comma
is italicized. So is there or is there not a way to see all the attibutes
or
formatting or codes or whatever you want to call them--all at the same
time
and not in some box floating at the right of the page that only shows the
attributes of a little piece at a time?

Help. Please urge Microsoft to give us "REVEAL CODES" like the reveal
codes
in Corel's WORD PERFECT not the "reveal codes" in Microsoft Word.
Microsoft
words' reveal codes is worthless -- it only shows some codes, That's why
I
still love Corel's Word Perfect because when we have a problem with
formatting or anything we can turn on "reveal codes" and we can see
every
single code and we can try to delete various codes to ascertain what is
causing the problem. I still don't know how or why some key strokes
cause
different effects and if we had "reveal codes" which would reveal ALL
codes,
we could figure out what causes problems on our own. We need to be able
to
troubleshoot ourselves and we cannot so long as we do not have reveal
codes!
