Hidden Characters

Post by KenFuchs42 »

For years I've used Corel WordPerfect, and one of its best features is Reveal Codes. A current online article "16 Microsoft Word Tips You Need to Learn" lists a similar feature in Word: "If you are working on a complex document with different styles, columns, and formats, editing can quickly become a tedious exercise. The best way to see what's going on with your document's formatting is to make all the invisible marks (hard returns, soft returns, tabs, spaces) visible. Press Ctrl-Shift-8 in Windows or Command-8 on a Mac." I now use TextMaker every day and would like to know if this feature to show hidden characters is available in TextMaker.

Yes, paragraph marks are there in TextMaker also which you can access from the Ribbon command Home | Paragraph group, on the top right.

You can also add a shortcut key for this by right click anywhere on ribbon | customize ribbon | add "paragraph marks" in Quick search > click on shortcut keys > click inside "Press any shortcut key:" > Press Ctrl + Shift +8 > click Add. After that, you will able to Show/Hide paragraph marks by pressing Ctrl + Shift +8.

Thanks
