Pretty cool! The only negative I see about it is once they use this tool,
they've got to figure out how to get off the crutch (it is one). The page
for that download tells an absolute lie, too, when it says that Word
doesn't offer the depth of Reveal Codes. That shallow thought seems to
come only when users aren't thinking in Word but are translating from Word
Perfect. IOW, they haven't achieved fluency and won't achieve it until
they stop translating. People who have learned to think "Word" have come
to realize that they really don't need to actually chase most of the info
in Reveal Codes down anyway.

Otherwise, it's a tool and those are supposed to make the job easier!
