Using Reveal Codes
Formatting codes are inserted when you add text and formatting to a document. Reveal Codes gives you full control over document formatting, especially when copying and pasting text from various sources. For example, to remove bold formatting, you can turn on Reveal Codes, locate the <Bold> code, and then just drag it out of the Reveal Codes window. You can also double-click any code in the Reveal Codes window to make advanced alterations to the settings or styles. Codes are hidden by default; however, they can be displayed in a separate window below the active document.
This is how the text is displayed in the Reveal Codes window.
You can hide or display formatting codes.
You can also customize the display of the codes. For example, you can specify the font style and color, and several other formatting options.
In addition, you can print the contents of the Reveal Codes window. For more information about printing Reveal Codes, see “To print codes in a document.”
