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.
