hiding chapters
Hi,
the problem: I have to write a user manual for a product which is available in various versions and customer-configurations. I'd like to have an (invisible) header information block for this document where I can set the various properties (small version, customer A specific, etc.) Depending on this settings certain chapters or text blocks shall be hidden or shown to the viewer (of course the index and page numbering should be consistent). How could this be accomplished with least effort? Thanx -loef |

Hi G.L.-
I appreciate what you want to do, and I'm sure you will get any number of suggestions from those who are quite technically knowledgeable about Word. IMHO, however, a 'one size fits all' approach is an open invitation to every conceivable aspect of Murphy's Law. If that many variations are involved and the doc will be presented on screen it is all but guaranteed that the wrong people are going to see the wrong stuff and whoever is running the show is going to be more involved with manipulative mechanics than they should be. These are just a couple of _forseeable_ problems. FWIW, you might consider other approaches such as PDFs generated from a Word doc, PowerPoint presentations, or even multiple Word docs. Either will provide a much more professional & manageable solution, not to mention far _less_ complexity. Hope this is useful and received in the constructive manner intended |:) "G.
