ATW> I'm pretty sure they did have such a version; WP was the

ATW> worked, but I can't imagine anyone having been a fan. It

At a previous job, we ran it on HP-UX (with lots of terminal
sessions). Over time, most everyone ended up with Windows
machines, but still with WordPerfect/PerfectOffice. By the time I
left, there was a push to move to Word (I got out just in time!).
ATW> And as for reveal codes... OOo has a mode that displays
ATW> non-printable characters. Beyond that I just don't see
ATW> the point. OOo's document collaboration and versioning
ATW> tools are far and away better than what I recall from WP.
These days I prefer LaTeX's reveal-codes feature, with
collaboration and versioning provided via Subversion or git. ;-)
