Does Word 2007 have a feature comparable to 2003 "reveal format?"
Word 2003 had a "reveal format" feature which permitted changing the format
of downloaded news articles, academic papers, etc. Word 2007 doesn't seem to have a comparable feature. Anybody got an idea? -- Pete B. |

That not only lets you see the sources of formatting in the current selection, it also lets you selectively remove them. As a bonus, it takes up less room than the Reveal Formatting pane. As a last comment, you can put a button for the Style Inspector on the QAT -- use the same Customize dialog. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Excellent information in this reply. I've always wondered, though, why MS
Word has never incorporated a "reveal code" feature similar to Word Perfect's. The Word Perfect reveal code feature opens a separate window that allows you to see the formatting for text above and below the insertion point. Really helpful in many cases.

Word doesn't format with 'codes'. It is a style based application.

Just to mention that Bibico and I are kindred spirits: I loved that Word
Perfect "Reveal Codes" feature and Word has never come close to providing anything as useful. "Suzanne S.
