The reveal codes feature exists solely in WordPerfect documents. In
MS-Word, the closest approximation is the unfortunate paragraph format
feature. When multiple authors have contributed to a Word document, the
best (and only) way I know to clean up the document "perfectly" is to strip
all commands by copying the document and then using the paste-special
(unformatted text) command to paste the text into a new document. You can
then reformat the document to the desired style. If you instead force the
style onto various sections of the document, you may find yourself
confronted with wildly different styles if you make any subsequent
modifications to the paragraph/section.

In a similar situation with a WordPerfect document, you can see the
skeletal structure of the document with the reveal codes feature and delete
the unwanted formatting commands.
