I like to type with reveal codes at the bottom of the page as I used to in
wordperfect. It shows a separate page with all that I have typed at the top
but with all the hidden codes.
Thanks

No can do... Word is conceptually totally different from Word Perfect.

For a general discussion on those differences, see

For help on making the transition from Word Perfect, see

Word doesn't have that capability by itself -- primarily because Word doesn't
use codes like WordPerfect's.

There is a third-party product, CrossEyes, that forces a reveal-codes pane by
reinterpreting the document structure. Visit
http://www.levitjames.com/crosseyes/CrossEyes.html and decide for yourself
whether the feature is worth the extra cost.
