About Reveal Codes: I loved them in WP, and there's no reason why
something comparable couldn't be implemented in OO and in fact
somebody cobbled together a kind of demo at one point (in spite of
what people say about styles). But we don't have them.
About styles: Yes, that's the elegant way to use OO and it would be
good to learn about them. However, it doesn't obviate the need for
something like Reveal Codes sometimes. (If you were really masochistic
you could unzip your .odt file and examine the content.xml file to
diagnose your problem.)
About your actual problem: I really don't understand what's happening
to you, or where the blue could be coming from if you've stripped all
formatting by using Notepad. Is there a URL there somewhere by any
chance? Those can get displayed in blue (but also underlined) if you
have URL recognition enabled.

Thanks, Alexandro, I think I'm dense -- I look at each of the urls but I
don't see how any of them applies to my problem.

Please learn to use the stylist, we have the document on our wiki and
download on ODT and PDF here:

Specifically creating styles
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Writer_Guide/Creating_paragraph_styles
Specifically your documents should be style based, if your stiles are
correct you could also clone, and inherit styles. Styles help you to
mark the headers and index so you can add structure.

Is there any way to reveal codes in OO (the way you can in WordPerfect)?
I am having a problem with the following:
I am preparing a list of books as follows:
In a table of two columns, I insert an image of the book cover in the
first
(a narrow) column. In the 2nd column I put info about the book: title,
author, publisher & date.
I have obtained the info from www.worldcat.org, compiled a list of the
books, copied the list into Notepad to strip it of formatting. Next I
copied the list into an OO text document and formatted it as follows:
font Calibri color black
title: 18 point bold italic
author & publishing info (two separate lines): 15 point regular.
For some reason, OO is changing the color of the publishing info to blue.
I change it to black. but when I save it the color switches to blue!!
It is driving me crazy!!!
Any ideas?? Thanks!!
