Because for maybe a decade and a half now, Microsoft Word has been the gold standard in word processing applications. That's why WP can be saved into a Word-compatible version and not vice versa. Not to mention OpenOffice/LibreOffice can be saved into a Word-compatible version, never WordPerfect compatible. WordPerfect's heyday died before the 20th century did. Even in government agencies and law offices - WP's traditional bailiwick - they also use MS Word so they can work with outsiders. Bottom line: If we want specific WP features, like Reveal Codes (a real attraction to me too), we're going to need to duplicate them within our MS-Word compatible applications. Going back to WP would be madness for most of us. Cheers, Jeff Deutsch Speaker & Life Coach A SPLINT - ASPies LInking with NTs http://www.asplint.com Your mood can affect how you read this e-mail.
