Expand and collapse

[Guest]

Hello,

Is there a way to create a Windows Explorer type expand and collapse (plus
and minus signs, click on the plus to expand etc.) in Word. For example, I
have a series of instructions and I want the reader to see the basic
instructions but have the option of expanding those instructions should they
need extra information.

Any help appreciated, but I would rather your response did not include the
phrase "outline view"

There's no elegant way. There's a cludgy method using a table with a
macrobutton field in column one and the collapsed and expanded texts in
column two. When you click the macrobutton, the macro toggles the .hidden
property of the column two material.

There is a method to mimic this by macros at MVP Greg Maxey¹s webpage here:
