Am just transitioning to Writer from other word processors.? Altho I
clearly need to learn to more efficiently use Writer's styles, my vote
is for a "reveal codes" option to identify when I have made some

imported into a Writer document some info from other documents or from
a web site.?
Have you tried tools > options > OpenOffice.org Writer > Formatting Aids
> Display of - check everything you want to display?
Gene, since Bob has not yet replied, I will presume to reply for him:
Writer's Display of Formatting Aids is not comparable to WordPerfect's
"Reveal Codes" - which shows, for example, *exactly*:
- where a user-defined style begins and ends;
- where a picture is anchored in the text (or on the page);
- what is included in a "protected block";
and so on. IOW, it reveals much more than what OO calls "Formatting
Aids"; it reveals the document's structure. That's why many who have
thought about it say that a "Reveal XML" function would be OO's
equivalent to WP's "Reveal Codes".
