> That's exactly how you do it in OpenOffice, select the word and click on
the "Bold" icon. 

It's not that simple. In Open Office you have to be careful about selecting 
spaces AFTER a word.

If you select a word to make bold and happen to include the space after the 
word, then come back when editing your text and remove the bold or remove the 
word but fail to take account of what you originally did to the space following 
the word, the bold code is still there, invisible. You start typing your 
replacement word or additional text and it is bold, unintentionally.

With reveal codes, you see and can remove what has become a stray, unwanted 
bold code.

Again, reveal codes is voluntary, in a separate window, it doesn't clutter your 
basic text but gives much fuller and easier control over it.
