Please give us REVEAL CODES like WORD PERFECT not reveal codes
Thank you for the info-I will probably try this add-in.
I searched for "macro reader" in Word Help and all I got was the standard stuff on how to record and play macros. (I do know about macros; I use them in both Word and WP. I like keyboard shortcuts; it is a lot easier to record a macro and assign a shortcut than use the mouse to hunt for commands in the menus or on the toolbar icons. It's just not efficient to keep moving my hands from the keyboard to the mouse. . . Sorry for the tangent.) Anyway, I am not sure what you meant by the 'macro reader' comment. I suspect, though, that if your suggestion has anything to do with Word auto-finding or auto-replacing two spaces for every sentence, that it will actually take more time. I haven't met a word processor yet that can consistently tell the difference between an abbreviation and the end of a sentence-too many false alarms. Typically, I check spaces at the same time I do all my other editing (and I can do at least that now with the 'reveal nonprinting...' feature. In fact, I prefer to do all my editing in the same order the text goes, not a task or a "style" at a time, which is why I will probably spring for the add-in program you suggested (once I have a few spare minutes to check into it some more). Perhaps you meant something else about the macro thing. If so, feel free to clarify. Thanks.

I helped beta test the add-in a few years ago and can tell you it's a lot like the WP version but perhaps a little better since it reveals more than what WP Reveal Codes shows you. I think there's a trial version available too. Here's a link if interested: http://www.levitjames.com/crosseyes/CrossEyes.html Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email cannot be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton "ALeiS" wrote in message ... 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?
