I am happy it has been discussed. Someone above asked for a use-case. Well, displaying formatting marks is simply mandatory in my work (translator). At the moment, while I use LibreOffice for all the text I write and with MS Word files I receive, I cannot use Impress. Even my Computer Assisted Translation tool understands and displays formatting marks from PowerPoint files. It is just crucial for me to distinguish a space from a non-breaking space, or soft and hard returns. It affects the segmentation of text boxes, the formatting of punctuation, etc. Interestingly PowerPoint remove this functionality too. It is one of the most asked questions related to this soft. Time for LO to show the way?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
