JZ> We have both wp 5.2+ for windows and MSWord 6.0 for windows.
JZ> (3.11 version).  My wife realy likes the reveal codes of wp.
JZ>  Is there anything simular or tricks that will allow her to
JZ> check her work in MSWord 6.0?
Reveal codes is a crutch for Wordperfect users.  You don't need it in Word, 
but you have to become comfortable with how word does things.  It does not 
embed codes inside the documents between the characters where you have to 
worry about their location.
JZ> At the present she is doing charts in WP 5.2+ then
JZ> transfering them to Word 6.0 to print on the inkjet 682c HP
JZ> printer.  When she tries the charts in Word, she does not
JZ> have the control that she has in Word perfect 5.2+,
She probably does not know how to work with Word. What control does she need 
that she is missing?  Wordperfect 5.2 was not really that brilliant as a word 
processor.  I would be surprised if there was much it could do that Word 6 or 
7 cannot.  Now Wordperfect 6+ is a different story.
JZ> will not print to the HP inkjet printer.
Why not?  You must be using the native wordperfect drivers, one of WP's 
dumbest moves in Windows.  If you tell it to use Windows printer drivers, it 
should be able to print fine to the inkjet printer.  Oops, this is the Word 
support echo.  I can't help myself.  I was a Wordperfect user for years.
