I think this is one of those cases where what you like depends on where you came in. I went from MS Word for DOS, to WordPerfect to Word for Windows, and then to Infinity... and Beyond! I always thought Reveal Codes was only useful in that it helped you fix problems caused by being forced to deal with codes in the first place. I didn't ask for those inappropriate/incorrectly nested codes to be put there in the first place. It was the friendly programmers from the WordPerfect Corporation who chose to allow them there! I liked WordPerfect on the whole, but I still think Reveal Codes was the vendor's way of letting me debug or work around their coding errors. In any case, these days formatting and structure should flow from your DTD/CSS/templates/you name it. Manually groping around in the underlying markup like a drunken farmer milking a goat in the dark... it's just so *twentieth century* :^) --- Stuart "powered by vi" Burnfield Information Developer Australian Programming Centre ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
