WordPerfect's "Reveal Codes" mode was the best feature a word processor ever had. You could see exactly what was causing your formatting problems, and surgically fix them. It's like viewing the HTML of a web page.
Word has that. It is a paragraph mark button.
I use it all the time.
I don't have a copy of Word handy, but I don't think it is nearly as detailed. Wordperfect would show you all the formatting, but also marks for tables of contents and indexes, columns, images and other inserts, etc.
Correct. Word's was page and whitespace only, Wordperfect was nearer to markup, like HTML/XML, you could see bold, italic, font size changes, etc.
