When I was editing news releases, we used this program that would let you take a messy jumble with stupidified line breaks and "make paragraph". I miss that tool from that job ten years ago.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Don't feel too bad.
As long as my shiny new Cobra Starship CD makes it to me, I'm good with blaming it on a severe case of sleep deprivation.

You can reveal codes in Word, I think. Is that to show formatting symbols?
If so, Tools/Options/View tab/Non-printing characters -- you can check all or check the ones you want to see. You can also do this by hitting the paragraph button on the standard toolbar.
What does "make it fit" do?

I'm very startled to discover that the eldest member of Hanson is 26.

It seems like at least ONE Hanson should be 30 by now.

Tools > Options > View.
For field codes, make sure the field codes box is checked.

It still isn't as good as "reveal code" - that was one of the greatest things in word processing ever. Assuming you used it (considers some memories of dumb questions). It was a BIG help when I had to learn HTML, too.
