I totally disagree with this view. When documents come from different
clients and suppliers, as they often do in my world, WordPerfect's
Reveal Codes feature is definitely a plus. And BTW I wouldn't call word
processing "programming." They are two different disciplines, tho they
sometimes overlap...
