Reveal codes are better for people that do not have total control over allĪspects of a document and have to work with multiple sources and formats and I think we need to look at how OOo can be made There is no reason to stick with the answer that this is how they do it in Word

Especially when trying toįind that one piece of code that was imported that screwed up your whole document. A second choice of showing theįormatting (T1-Tx) token positions, would also help. Selecting View > Non-PrintingĬharacters will show some formatting features. I also suggest that there be a menu or added feature to show where theįormatting makes changes within a document. Jannz's macro can display this info, why not make an integrated tool to do a
Simple way to display all the information about formatting in an easy way. The content.xml file to see what happened when I made changes. Some info is displayed in various locations but that is a pain.Īs a test I made a simple document that had some formatting changes and examined Or at least take you to the property that made this change. Add the ability to change orĭelete properties within this pop-up box and now you have a type of revealĬodes. Indicate where a formatting property changes.

I am going to copy and paste my suggestion from the OOo enhancement. It may actually promote styles in a better way. In the OOo enhancement request, I suggested that if OOo would just have a display box that showed all the various styles and formats that are being used and an ability to delete/edit them, this would provide many of the features of Reveal Codes. There is no guarantee that the styles will remain if someone uses WordPerfect on the document.

It is not easy to remove all formatting each and ever time you get a version of the document to install and use "styles"
I understand that Styles work really well when you create a document from scratch but when you are taking a document that has been created by one or many other people, finding all the formatting issues are a major problem. This request will add many businesses that stick with WordPerfect to the list of users that don't like the MS Office or OpenOffice way of doing things. This is the same request as has been for Open Office since 2002. I know that for the "Stylists" this is a hated enhancement but for those of us that work between different people and different word processors, "Reveal Codes" is a major tool to find strange formatting problems due to importing and exporting documents over and over.
