Default Hidden text overriding format of next line

If you need to work with hidden text, you probably have to keep it
visible. Alternatively, you can add frame formatting to the style and
locate it in the margin; that way, it definitely won't interfere with
the text.

More importantly, what is the hidden text used for? There might be a
better way to include it with the document (a custom document
property, for example).

I've created a Word template that incorporates a style that's

formatted as
hidden text. The problem is that, when the hidden text is toggled

off and my
users try to type something on the following line (which I assigned

an
outline numbered style that's not hidden), the hidden text toggles

on and the
cursor is positioned at the beginning of the hidden text, not on the

line
that the user started typing on.

If the hidden text is already on, there is no problem. The line

that the
user starts typing on applies the appropriate style.

Does anyone know how I can get the style to apply properly if the

hidden
text is hidden?
