(3.11 version). My wife realy likes the reveal codes of wp. Is there anything simular or tricks that will allow her to check her work in MSWord 6.0? At the present she is doing charts in WP 5.2+ then transfering them to Word 6.0 to print on the inkjet 682c HP printer. When she tries the charts in Word, she does not have the control that she has in Word perfect 5.2+, but WP will not print to the HP inkjet printer. Its complicated, but has anyone else run into simular situations and have any comments?
