Re: reveal codes
Let me clarify. The “codes” revealed are not what your thinking of — tags with bracketed text, XML code, etc.. I think that the viewing option should more properly be called “Reveal Structure” since it simply shows what formatting instruction has been given and where, specifically things like, typeface and size, indentations, line spacing, etc..

Sometimes one has to work with documents created by other people. And often one would like to be able to place the cursor before or after an invisible format or style 'code' (or xml tag). I think that the possibility (in principle) of doing so was demonstrated by the macros originally developed by Iannz (referred to on my Web page mentioned in an earlier post in this thread). - Robert - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

What problem do you think "Reveal Codes" solves. I mean something other the fact that the developers of WP couldn't write bug free code. (Reveal Codes was a quick fix to enable users to fix the presentation markup errors that Wp put into their documents, due to bad coding in their software.) Robert wrote: >Many people have said that it's impossible.

IIRC, Ian's macro didn't provide editing functionality. ### If one configures the stylist side-bar, and formatting tool bar appropriately, one can get virtually all of the functionality of Reveal Codes. jonathon - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Or maybe it was made for LibreOffice, I don't remember. Apache OpenOffice is built around styles, kind of. This has its obvious advantages, especially when you want consistent documents and it's very easy to make huge changes very quickly, for instance in a few clicks change the font size for all headers in hundreds of pages at once. I use styles all the time and I never needed ”reveal codes” and I'm pretty sure I'll never need them. Anyway, if that add-on can't be found or if it doesn't work with newer versions of Apache OpenOffice, and if you don't want to adapt to styles, then I would say that Apache OpenOffice is not for you. Pick something else. This discussion has been up quite a few times and it seems obvious to me that this feature will never ever be implemented in Apache OpenOffice, nor in LibreOffice. At least that's what I think.

You need to learn how to use D Styles and may find it helpful to turn on /View /Non printing characters. If you wish to see the XML formatting codes, unzip an OpenOffice file (which is a zipped archive) and examine content.xml with a plain text or an XML editor Be advised, bad editing of this file can damage the OO file, perhaps irreparably. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Problems Opening Open Office Program
We use Open Office for our business, & we recently bought a new device (Nextbook Flexx10 with Windows 8.1) and downloaded the latest version of Open Office. It was working fine at first then it started kicking us off the program saying "A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution becomes available". It will let us open a blank document but not one of our documents that we were currently working on. Also the keyboard will momentarily freeze at the same time. We're in the middle of an important business report & need to get it working again asap. What should we do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We've never had any issues with Open Office in the past. Comprehensive Home Inspections Your peace of mind is our priority!
