It refers to the fact that some wordprocessors format the screen to allow you to see exactly what will be printed..Underlining, centering, Bold, italics, etc... This is contrasted to embedded control codes in the text to provide the special features. Hope that helps. Ron Kushnier kushnier@nadc.arpa
