Hidden text in a document
"Hidden text" is a font format, just like bold or italic. You can select any
text, go to the Font dialog, and check the box for Hidden; or you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+H. If you want to see the hidden text temporarily, you can click the ¶ button and the text will appear with a dotted underline. There is no way you can guarantee that someone on another computer cannot see text you've marked as Hidden -- they can click ¶ just as easily as you can. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Hidden text in a document
Sorry, I'm not following your description. Do you mean that you marked some
text as Hidden, and when your colleague views that document the text is not marked as Hidden? Or that it is still marked as Hidden (dotted underlines) but your colleague still sees it and can't turn off its display? Joshab wrote: Hello Jay, I am aware of this option.

Hidden text in a document
It almost sounds as if you are tracking your changes, and you have your
options set so that deletions are hidden, but your colleague has his options set differently, so he can see your work. Is that the issue? If so, there's no easy way around it in MS Word, because those settings reside on each individual computer. As long as the changes are still in the document, anybody can see what you deleted if they want to. Your best options are (a) accept all changes in the document before you send it to your colleague, or (b) create a PDF of the document. Then your colleague cannot see what you have deleted.
