No.)

For those that insist on a "Reveal Codes" function, there are some options:

* Examine the raw XML of the document;
* Install the Reveal Codes macro found at
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/
(Finding the one for calc is left as an exercise for the reader.);
* learning to use styles correctly;

CF
* http://wp.openoffice.org/rcodes.html
* Bruce Byfield explains the case fairly well here
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8989
* http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3395 is a
discussion on how useful such a  feature is.

My personal opinion:  "Reveal Codes" are a crutch required by those
too lazy to be bothered to learn how to use their tools correctly.
Furthermore, by manipulating the raw XML, one has a degree of power,
control, and functionality that WP's "Reveal Codes" will never be able
to touch.
