OK, first off, I'm not sure if this is exactly what everyone wants, because I haven't used Word Perfect, much. I'm also not sure if this will work with editions of Word earlier than 97, but here goes...



Hold down the SHIFT key and depress the F1 key. This will change your cursor into an arrow with a "?" next to it. (You can also go to Help -> What's This?) Then click on any text within Word, and it will give you the formatting of the text.



Hope this helps.
