The final set of controls on the standard toolbar provide quick access to commands that allow you to get a better view of your document and to view different aspects of the documents. WordPerfect users may get excited by the Show/Hide Paragraph button but will soon realize it is not the same as WordPerfect’s Reveal Codes -- Word only shows spacing marks.

Document Map: Opens a pane that shows the document headings and the cursor’s relative position within the document.
Show/Hide Paragraph: Reveals select elements of the document’s formatting.
Zoom: Increases or decreases the size of the document’s viewable area.
Microsoft Word Help: Opens the help wizard.
