COLLAPSIBLE TEXT

P

Phil

I have a table setup and I want one of the columns to be
collapsible so the user can show/hide it. Is there any
way to do this OTHER THAN through the Outline View?

Phil,

There is a way to create text that can be hidden or shown using a
combination of macros, autotext, and fields, but it couldn't be applied to a
column of a table. The only way I can think of do that would be to use
macros that deleted and recreated the column, which would be a mess because
you'd have to store all the format of the column, its content, and the
format of that content in order to recreate it. So the short answer is, you
could possibly emulate such a thing in Word using VBA, but it would be tons
of work to code it, test it, and debug it.

Regards,
Chad
