Default How to create collapsible section or paragraph (Hide/Unhide)?

I have a series of paragraphs where I want them to be visible at the endusers
choice, then hidden at other times. Similar to Outline function in Excel.

Default How to create collapsible section or paragraph (Hide/Unhide)?

You can format the paragraphs with a distinct style, then give the users a
method to set that style to be hidden or not hidden. This is not an elegant
solution -- it needs a macro, and distributing documents with macros is a
non-trivial exercise unless all your users are on a network that you
administer.

But basically, you're going outside the functionality that Word is intended
to provide. It's primarily an app for creating documents, not for delivering
them on-screen.

Word doesn¹t really offer this as a feature, exactly.

If you can get everyone to read your document in Outline View, you can take
advantage of that.
