It appeared that, as a user made formatting changes, the program would just add the new code without deleting the formatting being replaced. The program would only apply the last code, but all the earlier ones remained in place until they were deleted using reveal codes, which was a real life saver with WP.
To my knowledge, that sort of thing doesn't happen with LO, making reveal codes unnecessary. To me, using reveal codes in LO is like trying to use a gas gauge on an electric car.
