Default Can I Use Triggers in MS Word

Hi,
I am a physiologist and I teach both undergraduate and graduate level
courses and I have tried desperately to find a solution to this one teaching
presentation technique and all I find is that I must learn HTML to accomplish
this one function. I wish I had that kind of time, but I simply do not, so I
need expert help.

An example of what I am trying to accomplish can be found if you open WORD
then clicking WORD HELP then clicking TABLE OF CONTENTS. This shows DOCUMENT
MAP. If you click on one of the listed items, then this shows a dropdown list
and so on. This drop down approach (as well as the embeded expand - condense
capability for MS uses for word definations) is what I am trying to
accomplish. This way, in a learning environment, I can choose to present
select information, or the student can choose to dig deeper into a particular
topic - or skip more indepth info due to time constraints. It would also be
desirable to enable the instructor to limit student access to certain info
(only available to the teacher or for a certain amount of time) Finally,
hopefully a problem can be resolved in printing this "formatted" document
where the teacher can control the display / printing of information.

Any ideas?

Thanks much
