Amen. One of the VERY BEST features of WP - even before it went Corel - was
the reveal codes option, which gave the user full control over the quirky
formatting of almost any WordProc app - including OO [if you question this, try
to do nested lists, with the top level numbered and the next level bulleted].

This subject came up a couple of months ago, maybe with LO instead of
OO, and the stuffy answers came back and said you have to use "styles,"
which is a
giant ball of wax. In other words, even if you could see what was
happening, you could not change it "on the fly," you had to go and
figure out what kind
of style would make the text look like what you wanted and and create
that style. And then your whole document would have that style. What a
humongous
mess! WordPerfect Office 12 word processor (only*) will run in 32-bit
Linux, but I don't know whether the reveal styles function works--not
everything does.
Also it apparently will not run in 64-bit systems, but maybe that can be
finagled.
*Do not try to install other features of the office suite, like the
spread sheet, or Corel Draw, etc.
