Hello, OpenOffice.org works differently from WordPerfect, so there is no easy way to imitate the 'reveal codes' window. There's been some discussion about it, and some attempts to find something like it under OOo: • http://wp.openoffice.org/rcodes.html • http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8989 • http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3395 • http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/ • http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=9696 Reveal codes 'bug': http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3395 Some other ideas: • the Navigator (compass on the Standard toolbar / 12th item under Edit / F5) gives lay-out information • the Format toolbar indicates whether bold, right align etc. are applied in the part or word the cursor is in HTH -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.1 on a iMac Intel DualCore Leopard and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
