Re: Does AbiWord have hidden text formatting?

Thanks for info, Martin.

Lacking the ability to create a one-click toolbar button, after the user selects text, how many mouse clicks does it take to format the text as hidden?

For example, In OO-Writer:
Click Format menu, click Character, click Font Effects, click Hidden, click OK.

I assume AbiWord has a Show/Hide toolbar button that shows/hides nonprinting characters, correct? This means I can toggle between showin and hiding hidden text.

Thx again--
