The need for the reveal codes feature is debated on this list every 6 months
or so as many people think like you and would very much like to see it
implemented.
OOo instead is styles based, and I can assure you that once you start using
styles the misbehaving text becomes a thing of the past. Of course you will
have to re-train yourself and I understand that it is not easy. I was told
that there is a macro around that can mimic to a point the reveal codes
feature... maybe if you google for it you may find it.


So the problem is,. How do I convert WordPerfect 7  files to
OpenOffice 2.4files.


OpenOffice can open .wpd documents, so all you have to do is to open them,
check that the import filter made a decent job and then save them in .odt.

Cheers,

Michele
