Are there any known conflicts with having LO 4.0.4 and AOO 4.0 installed on the same computer? In my never-ending, obsessive (and admittedly futile) search for computing perfection, I want to try both programs to see which better meets my techno-needs. Virgil

There *is* a "reveal styles." It's in the Formatting Toolbar, where the style for the paragraph containing the cursor is clearly displayed. Press F11 and you'll get a list of all the available paragraph styles. Right click on any one of them, click "Modify" and you can see all of the formatting
