Show outline with or without explanatory text

[TomP]

I often create procedure documents in Word that outline the steps to
accomplish some task. For experienced people, just the step outline is
plenty, and I can keep it fairly short. For people unfamiliar with the
process, there is always a text paragraph for each step explaining and
telling them what to do. Up to now I've always created (and maintained) two
versions of each doument, one with text and one without. Is there a way to
create this as one document (with a 2 or 3 level outline) with text, that I
can turn off and have only the outline show? Here's a short example of what
I mean:


with explanatory text:

HOW TO BAKE COOKIES
1. Prepare Dough
(this is where you get the dough ready to start baking).
A. Mix dry ingredients
(it's important to mix flour, salt, and baking powder together first
in a bowl)
B. Mix wet ingredients
(mix the eggs, shortening, milk and water together, and beat in a
mixer)
C. Combine ingredients
(here you want to pour the dry into the wet, stirring constantly)

2. Cut out dough.
(depending on the season, use the appropriate cookie cutters to make
shapes)

or, without text for more experienced folks:

So, is there an easy way to do this?

You could mark all the explanations "Hidden Text" and tell the newbies
to "Show Hidden Text" (the easiest way is Ctrl-Shift-8).

You mark text Hidden by selecting it and pressing Ctrl-Shift-H, or by
creating a character style with the attribute "Hidden" and applying
it.
