how do you show the "Reveal Formatting" Task Pane in word 2007?

[Guest]

I can get to the reveal formatting task pane via a complicated route, first
expanding the styles tab, then hitting the styles inspector button, then
hitting the reveal formatting button. is there a simpler way?

G'Day Bennyob,

The keyboard shortcut, SHIFT+F1, still works, otherwise you'll need to
add the button to the Quick Access Toolbar:

Office Button
Word Options
Customize
All Commands (in dropdown at top)
Reveal Formatting (main pane)

Shift + F1 will display the reveal codes

I've read several Post and they make it sound more difficult than it is to reveal formatting. It takes less than a minute to give you what you need when you need it.
1. Select the 'pull down' next to the "Quick Access Tool Bar"
(This bar is located on the upper left corner adjacent to the "OFFICE" button in
your document)
2. From the pull down menu select "More Commands"
(this takes you to "Word Options" Screen
3. From the menu on the left, Select "Customize"
4. At the top of the right side of the same screen you will see a drop down box,
In the box it reads, "Popular Commands". You want to change this so select
the drop down menu button.
5. From the drop down menu select "All Commands"
6. Scroll down until you find "Reveal Formating"
7. You can dubble click or select "ADD"
Once you close out of the menu, Select OK at the bottom, the icon (Capital letter A with a magnifying glass) will appear in your Quick Access Tool Bar.
See, that really was quite easy. Especially when you know where to look.
