Hi RJ, The best places for questions about LibreOffice are the Ask.LibreOffice.org site, the users mailing list, and the #libreoffice IRC channel. For specific enhancement requests, we'll usually point you at the bugtracker, but feel free to ask for some guidance :-) > My Question: > > I have been using Libre for a while now, alternating with my Word Perfect > ver.

The Navigator doesn't provide all of the functionality of WP's Reveal Codes, but it's another powerful tool that might be helpful for you. > Does Libre have any such “reveal codes” function?

If you have experience with computer programming, or think that adding this functionality would be something useful to you or your company, there are a number of LibreOffice developers and consultancies who be interested in working on 'Reveal Codes' as a feature for a future version of LibreOffice. As with most work, it's just a matter of finding the developer time to make it possible. We're always looking to have more developers and more organizations become active participants in the LibreOffice project :-) Cheers, --R P.S. Thanks for mentioning the post on the Ask site -- it appears that we don't have a question specifically about Reveal Codes up there, so (because it's such a popular request) I'll add one pointing to the enhancement request on the bug tracker. -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald [email protected] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
