Have you ever wanted to develop a document or template around a design you've seen, but you weren't quite sure how to replicate the formatting? You can obtain formatting information by pressing [Shift][F1].
This combination attaches a question mark to your mouse pointer. When you click a section of text, Word 2000 opens a bubble that displays both the paragraph and font formatting applied to the text. To turn off this feature, press [Esc]. (In Word XP, this combination opens the Reveal Formatting task pane.)
In addition to the applied font and paragraph formatting, there may still be some hidden characters that affect the look of a document. To display hidden characters such as extra line spaces, click the Show/Hide button on the Standard Toolbar.
