Reveal codes was a marvellously useful feature of Word Perfect. If it be that we can't have that, could we at least have a 'reveal styles' command instead? There is no ready and full-proof way to do this at the moment. Presumably that would be a more acceptable compromise.

I posted earlier about installing WordPerfect 12 on Linux. I have it running on PCLinuxOS 32-bit KDE, and I just this minute verified that the Reveal Codes feature works as it should. This turns out to be not Office 12, but WordPerfect 12. It is called a Productivity Pack, and is probably not supposed to be sold separately, since my disk, which I bought from Amazon, says "This software is pre-installed on your computer." On the disk is a Corel logo that says OEM. On the envelope, it says it's a backup copy for Dell, and it's only for use with that. It's copyright 2005, so it's not likely to read the latest Microsoft formats. As of today, Amazon can supply two copies. They supply a serial number you can use to install it. And they tell you NOT to install the other apps, like the spread sheet or the draw program, etc. So I didn't. I don't know what happens if you do. When Amazon runs out, I don't know where you can get it. Anyway, I have a bunch of money invested in "real" WordPerfect (Windows) versions so I don't feel bad about using this.
