The only reason you can have a single troubling code is that the program

them and introduce mistakes.
Not sure I agree.
Perhaps I didn't make clear that I was responding to the previous
contributor's mention of "a single troubling code" and taking it literally:
one code that shouldn't be there, not a matching pair of codes. It was for
these rogue single codes that Word Perfect's "reveal codes" was
particularly useful.
Point taken :-)
I don't remember if I ever used Reveal Codes for this kind of
corruption in WordPerfect, but I do remember often using it to
position the cursor either inside or outside a particular formatting
code. This is the use for which I would like to see something
comparable (Reveal Styles) in OO.
