'Hidden' Text - Word 2007
Hi Guys,
Ideally what i'd like to do with MS-Word is something similar to [spoiler] tags you see on some forums - basically text that is hidden - but with a 'click to show' link that 'shows it' - is this at all possible in Word 2007 (or perhaps with some sort of Add-on?) I'm not too bothered about the printed consequences of this (but it'd be nice if it allowed me to hide/show it) If that's not possible - just in terms of standard using Hidden text - is there a keyboard shortcut to show/hide hidden text? (as opposed to all formatting] Or is it possible to assign one? (or Hijack the existing ctrl+shift+8 so that it only reveals hidden text?) Thanks in advance for any help/ideas. Tim P.S. In case your wondering the primary purpose is for my own revision notes! |

'Hidden' Text - Word 2007
How about adding Comments, and showing or hiding the balloons?

'Hidden' Text - Word 2007
I have a macro that lives in my Normal template in Word 2003 that looks like
this: Sub ShowMeEverything() With ActiveWindow.View .ShowBookmarks = True .ShowHiddenText = True .ShowAll = True End With End Sub I use it because I'm a developer and want to be able to turn these setting on regardless of their current state. If all you were wanted to do is toggle the state of hidden text back and forth then something like: Sub ToggleHiddenText() ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = Not (ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText) End Sub would probably work. I call my macro through a button on a custom toolbar but only because I have several tools of this type that I use so having them all on a toolbar only makes sense. However, it's not to difficult to assign a keyboard shortcut. Post back if you decide this approach is something you want to try and need some help with working with macros. -- Cheers!
