I should have clarified what I meant by a troubling code. I meant something that I (or any user) might put in, and then later decide this is not exactly the way you want it, and so wish to make an adjustment. Your document looks wrong but you don't know how to find the formatting element that you inserted and now wish to delete. In WP, that is easy. Press Reveal Codes, find the code you don't want, and delete it.
