Thanks Rory
Understood. But that is not the same as being able to hit 'reveal
codes' see exactly where the style is turned on and off (as you can
currently do for some formatting with the 'Non-printing Characters'
command. It would be a lot more foolproof, particularly when having
problems.
That was the beauty of Word Perfect in this respect.

If you position your cursor in a paragraph, the Style for that
Paragraph is shown on the left of the Formatting toolbar. If you
have the Stylist open (F11 or /Format /Styles and Formatting) the
Paragraph style under the cursor is highlighted; ditto for the
character style under the cursor, and also the page style for the
current page. The current page style is also shown centre left of
the Status Bar.
A useful guide to the predefined styles (which styles you can
customise) is given at
