I used to use WP way back when, and occasionally I would use Reveal
Codes. But that was only ever because something had gone wrong with
on-the-fly formatting and I couldn't work out why a section that should
be bold wasn't bold (for example). Usually there was some strange break
or other inserted code that wasn't aware of that caused the problem.
Reveal Codes revealed that thing that was invisible.
OO doesn't work this way. Occasionally I've found that on-the-fly
formatting hasn't worked as I expected. But I've found that you just
have to highlight the section you want bolded (for example), hit the
bold button (or whatever) a couple of times and you're right.
Sometimes there is a section of text that has one attribute in the
middle of another section that has another attribute- just select the
whole lot and tell it what you want.,
If it's really messed up, define a paragraph style the way you want it
and apply the style.
From my point of view, I don't need to see what's happening under the
covers, I just want it to do the job, and OO does that, whether I use
styles or fudge it as I go.
If you do allot of importing, cutting and general work with different
formats of documents, the issue of strange effects are common. That
stray token or formatting that was part of the original document is
now inserted inside your nicely stylized document causing a problem.
But where is that snipit of code?
