Reveal Codes
Hi Joyce -
This is an issue that is as old as Word, itself. The plain & simple fact is that Word (as we know it) does not, has not & never will have any such feature because it doesn't use *any* such embedded codes, ergo there are none to reveal. The two programs are based on completely separate & distinct programming design structures. I understand the frustration of having to use a different tool for the 'same old' task, but your time & effort would be better invested if you learn to use the new tool rather than wishing it would work like the old one It's funny, but when WP was introduced everyone *embraced* it because it was so much easier to use than its predecesor (WordStar), but when Word arrived on the scene, WP users *shunned* it for the same reason. You might have a look at the articles on these pages to start with; http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/WordVsWordPerfect.htm http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/ As well as exploring a wealth of good info available from; http://word.mvps.org/index.html And don't hesitate to post any specific issues you might encounter here... In fact, you might be surprised how much you can pick up just from spending a little time each day reviewing the posts in these Word newsgroups. Vast experience from professional users familiar with both products is available for any guidance you require -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Joyce Leatherwood" Joyce wrote in message ... would like to see the capabiltiy of having reveal all codes such as in Wordperfect. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Reveal Codes

would like to see the capabiltiy of having reveal all codes such as in Wordperfect. This is one of the most often requested features -- and almost always from WordPerfect users. The fallacy of the request is that Word doesn't have any codes to show. Unlike WordPerfect, which embeds actual code characters in the data stream to indicate where formatting starts and stops, Word uses a "container" approach to organizing formatting. Word 2002 and 2003 have a "Reveal Formatting" task pane that shows you how the formatting at any particular spot got to be that way. Read more about it at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/RevealCodes.htm. There is a third-party product that will "fake" a WordPerfect-style "Reveal Codes" pane. Visit http://www.levitjames.com/crosseyes/CrossEyes.html to see whether you want to buy it. -- 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. |

Reveal Codes
There's a Reveal Formatting Task Pane but it supplies plain English
descriptions of the formatting - no cryptic embedded codes as there are none. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Bigk" wrote in message ... Word has a feature similar.
