Simply toggling the font's hidden property is unreliable at best. Depending on how the user has Word configured, the text may remain visible and, even if it doesn't, might print anyway.

To do this properly, you need to conditionally insert/delete the text - including any formatting. One way is to use field coding (but even that is susceptible to unexpected behaviour if the user has word configured to display the field codes and/or print them). The safest way is to either hard-code the conditional content into a macro or a separate reference document, but that is also the least convenient approach.
