Reveal Formatting from the styles menu
In Word 2003, there was an option to show the formatting of a paragraph or
word. It was accessible from the Styles Task Pane. There also was an option to remove all formatting. I cannot find either of these functions in Word 2007. I teach them to my technical writing students and they are very useful if you have to handle documents sent to you electronically. Sometimes it is the only way to figure out why a change you are trying to make won't work. Have these been eliminated from 2007 and if not where are they?

Reveal Formatting from the styles menu
For Reveal Formatting, the keystroke still works in Word 2007 -- press
Shift+F1 to toggle the Reveal Formatting pane on/off. There's also a new tool called the Style Inspector, available from the Styles task pane (which can be displayed either by clicking the launcher in the lower right corner of the Styles section of the Home ribbon tab, or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S). The Style Inspector is the middle button at the bottom of the Styles task pane. To remove all formatting, select the text, and click the Clear Formatting tool in the northeast corner of the Font section in the Home ribbon tab. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "PKG-TxState" wrote in message ...

It is under "Commands Not in the Ribbon" (or "All Commands"). The new Style Inspector is also a great tool, as Herb mentioned in his post. David |

Thanks to both of you. We have installed 2007 in all the computer labs on
campus and are all stumbling through the adjustment process. Even educators find change unsettling!
