Old WP users, among whom I count myself, mourn the loss of reveal-codes mode. When my company switched from WP to Word (which I still think was largely my fault), I judged that Word was easier to use for the easy things - italics and bold at keystroke, for instance - but harder to control for the more advanced things. I've figured out headers/footers, for example, footnotes, even indices and ToCs. But I struggle with them still. WP was better in that regard, in my opinion.

I'm forced to use office365 on this e-mail account, and if there are options to support, e.g., showing headers with the message body, correct quoting, I haven't found them. Then there's word- where is reveal mode? ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] on behalf of Bob Bridges [robhbrid...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2020 9:13 PM I'm kind of rabid about including options in the programs I write, pretty much any option I can think might be useful if it isn't too hard to write in. How can ~I~ know what the user will find useful? So if I can ask, that's great, but sometimes it's not possible. Maybe Microsoft overdoes it a little; there are so many it's sometimes hard to find the one I want. But I'd rather have that problem than the opposite one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
