Hello, is it possible to purposfully 'hide' or collapse
areas of text in a Word document in the same way as Lotus
Notes (I think they may be called Twisties?) To be more
specific, you can highlight a selection of text and
collapse it and all you aer left with is a small blue
triangle at the side of the document. Clicking this
triangle will expand the selection again for viewing.
Can this be done in Word XP?
Thanks, Simon
 
Hi Graham, thanks for the reply. The Outline really only
cuts down to paragraph headings, ideally i want to
randomly select any area of a page and shrink it to the
side, sort of like a comment. Is this possible?

No. The best you can manage would probably be to format the text as hidden
and then add a button to the toolbar to toggle hidden text off/on. The code
for the macro behind that button would be:

Sub ShowHidden()
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowHiddenText = Not .ShowHiddenText
End With
End Sub
