I've *never* had a problem I couldn't solve in MSWord - or at least couldn't
solve because I couldn't see the tags.  I might not have been able to figure
out how to do something, but I could always figure out how to fix it.

     Here's another note on the WHYSIWYG vs. tag-based
     editors thread. One thing I absolutely love about
     WordPerfect is the "reveal codes" (tags) window.
     I've long since stopped counting the number of
     times I used it to discover and delete a strange
     formatting code that I could never see or debug in
     any other software. Marvelous feature, and
     thoroughly indispensible. WYSIWYG can be more
     efficient in creating the tags, but there are
     times when you simply can't understand and solve a
     problem without viewing the tags.
