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.)

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
