Hiding text from readers of word doc

[jcduk]

I posted this question a few weeks ago and was directed to macros, but
unfortunately though it works in Word, I lose the macro when I load the doc
into a content management system.

My problem - I want readers of MS Word docs to have the option to open/close
sections of text. So a bit like, "Are you interested in Football, yes/no"
Yes shows text about football, No skips down to next section about
Baseball..... I actually want to hide the text - otherwise I could just use
hyperlinks to jump over content.

Anyone got any creative ideas that DON'T require macro's, activeX or
javascript??? PLEASE!!!!

Thanks
JD

You have a protected form and you want some text to be shown/hidden
according to choices a user makes in a particular formfield.

If I understood correctly, then I believe it cannot be done as you wish
(i.e. no macros, ActiveX or script...)

What if it's an unprotected form? Does that give me any options?
Thanks!

You wrote that you wanted users to answer questions like:
"So a bit like, "Are you interested in Football, yes/no""

How did you plan to provide that facility? You have to use a protected form,
especially since you do not want to use ActiveX controls.

This is due to my ignorance. I'm not clear on protected/unprotected forms.
I wasn't sure if there was anything built into word, outside of macros/active
x. Sounds like I'm stuck on this one. Thanks for your help.
