> 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
