Show/Hide text
I can show or hide hidden text by going to tools/options/view and clicking
the "Hidden" box, but is there a keyboard shortcut to do that? I found that Ctrl+Shift+H will hide selected text, but I can't find anything that will show it. |

Hi Susan,
The shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+8 (on the number row above the letters, not on the number pad), or you can click the ¶ button on the toolbar. Strictly speaking, both of these toggle the "All" entry in Tools Options View, rather than just the Hidden option. If Hidden is checked, toggling All on and off won't hide Hidden text; but if the boxes other than All are unchecked, Hidden will be included among the toggled options. If that doesn't suit, add the following macro to Normal.dot or another global template and assign a shortcut key to it: Public Sub ToggleViewHidden() ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = _ Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...roToHotkey.htm for help if you need it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Susan wrote: I can show or hide hidden text by going to tools/options/view and clicking the "Hidden" box, but is there a keyboard shortcut to do that?

Thanks, Jay!
That macro hit the spot. "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
