The "hide text" formatting in WORD is not what I am looking for.

Instead, I wish to create a more 'hierarchical' structure of a document,
which allows readers to click on a small box next to a word, or to click on a
colored word ( similar to the HELP box in WORD), and then read additional
material.

I guess the easiest way to understand how this can be done is to look at any
page of the WORD HELP function and to look in the results pane of a HELP
query and 'reverse engineer' what MS did there... (except, of course, that
the HELP page is an HTLM document, whereas I wish to create this in WORD .DOC
format ...)

Thank you all very much in advance,
Frank

Word doesn't do this with enough elegance to be worth pursuing: for all its
bells and whistles, it's primarily a tool for creating documents, not for
displaying them. You can sort of do it with macrobutton fields; but don't go
there.
