Why must you insist on making the writer go thru hoops to fix something when Reveal Codes can do it for him quickly and easily? Just let us have the capability--if *you* want to go thru those hoops, then go ahead--I don't want to have to!
That's not what I suggest at all. I agree that a clearer display of formatting would be desirable. Call that "reveal codes" if you like, but remember that the codes don't actually exist. But if OpenOffice let you make changes by deleting an invented code or two, other users of the higher-level interfaces currently supplied could no longer rely on their integrity. It's not so much that I'm insisting on your doing things my way as asking that you should not be allowed to achieve a change that breaks everyone else's way.
And it really isn't going through hoops to modify any document the proper way: like most things, the proper way is, in the long term, the easy way. The difficulty, if any, is being able to see what the problem is.
