------- Additional comments from cabrink...@openoffice.org Thu Aug 13 00:23:59 +0000 2009 ------- I have read through years of discussion about the addition of a Reveal Codes capability to OOo Writer and I have to agree wholeheartedly with fortran_iv (Jan 22, 2009). I am at a loss to understand why so many contributors propose workarounds and other options rather than a full on commitment to make OOo more than just a MS Word lookalike. For several years, I've tried to use MS Word (and OOo), but the limitation of not having RC is prohibitive--I have to create documents in WP then save them to MS Word format to be compatible with my colleagues--I find this still preferable to using OOo or MS Word directly, even with the compatibility issues. My husband is a professor who has to use MS Word due to department regs, but inevitably, I have to convert his documents with WP, fix the accumulated formatting errors (very easy with RC and the "Match Codes" and "Find and Replace" features), then convert back to MS Word. I was so hoping that after finally being able to read WP documents, OOo Writer would have the RC feature and we could dispense with both MS Word and WP. I'm disappointed that it seems unlikely to happen (IMHO, visual XML is definitely NOT the answer). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
