Overkill, but it'll do the job (for free).

Yes, overkill for reading a simple document, but my reply was also
addressing the OP's statement of "and can not afford the cost of a MS
subscription of MS office." which you snipped.

So with LibreOffice, he gets his "office" at no cost.

The OP uses WordPerfect because of the access to the reveal codes.
These codes have saved me many hours in troubleshooting formatting
problems. In MS Word when things really go bad, the only solution is to
copy the document to an ASCII word process. Then rebuilding the
formatting of the document from the ASCII text.

Before going the ASCII route, open Styles and Formatting, try the Clear
All option.


It has been over ten years ago that I made the decision to purchase
WordPerfect for my personal use, I was in the middle of upgrade dozen
of old MSWord procedures at the company I worked for, that had been
edited over the years into the version I had. I spent too many hours
fighting MS Word to correct formating problems. After a couple of real
problems, I realized the most cost effective route to correct the
problem was the ACSII route.
