Users of Word versions 7 and later have a great way to see just how text or a graphics object is formatted, but almost nobody is aware of this tool (which is much like WordPerfect's Reveal Codes except that it doesn't allow editing of the settings). To view formatting details, press <Shift>-<F1>. The mouse pointer changes to include a question mark. Click any text or graphics object to see details on its formatting in a pop-up window. When you're through using this tool, press <Esc> to disable it.
