Word 2003 has reveal codes
I believe I've tried this feature. The problem ultimately is that the
document structure between WP and Word is very different. Word is
more or less about styles, where as WordPerfect is more about tags.
You can really tell this difference in the native macro languages--
VBA + Word is very much object oriented whereas the original WP macro
(I think they support VBA now too) is much more directly functional.
In Word you can do ALT+F1 to reveal styles I believe (could be wrong
about the shortcut it's been awhile). Very different from the WP
reveal codes though. Actually I think I read this line of argument on
an MS help page somewhere--that reveal codes for Word wouldn't be a
good idea because of how different Word and WP are (though this could
have also just been to avoid a patent dispute over "reveal codes"
feature, which was my initial thought)
