Default Hierarchical content control

Hi All,


I’m looking for some ideas on which direction I should take with Word VBA project a client is requesting.


The client needs to have nested sections of content controlled by checkboxes (on and off visibility) with the ability to have all child content sections hidden if a parent checkbox is selected.
I have been looking at Word 2010 for API features that can do this but have had little success. I have looked into working with ranges and bookmarks but don't seem to fit this project.



Any ideas on where I should be looking? Word 2013?
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Hiding content (ie via font attributes) is unreliable, as the display and printing of hidden text is controlled by the user independently of any settings in the document. Accordingly, you should consider controlling whether the content is actually present in the document. You can do that via the discretionary insertion of custom Quick Parts.
