I can't seem to find a 'view' option in OO Writer that will reveal

What are Reveal Codes? Does View -> Nonprinting Characters provide
what you want? In OOo, text has attributes that are defined by
styles.
Not really. What I had in mind is the option to view control and
formatting codes as in WP. Many times I might change formatting or
other options and forgot where they got changed. By looking at the
codes, I can find and edit the document much easier than by other
methods. The links provided by [EMAIL PROTECTED] in this
thread seem to do what I want. We'll see.
If controlling and tracking formatting of documents is important to
you, you really need to take the time to investigate styles rather than
pursuing the Reveal Codes path. Styles give you better control and more
rapid changes through a document.
I mainly use OO for simple letters and so on, but on occasions where
formatting is important, styles do make a big difference.
I find that this is true on newly created documents but on imported or
copied and pasted pieces of documents, I find that reveal codes would
make things better.
