I'm trying to write a multi-layered document so that a given step hides the relevant text.



E.g.

1.Step 1
2.Step 2
___Step 2a
___Step 2b
______Step 2bi
___Step c
3.Step 3

So if I were to select step 2, I could hide all the sub-steps (step2a, 2b, 2bi, etc).

1.Step 1
2.Step 2
3.Step 3

I've got the following code (after recording and trying to edit the macro), but it doesn't work

Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1
Selection.Paragraphs(1).SelectNumber
Selection.Expand wdLine
With Selection.Font
.Hidden = True
End With

I'm a word VBA n00b

Thanks

This thread might be of interest to you: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...le-button.html

You could modify the toggle macro in that thread to accept a string, which would be the name of the bookmark placed on the area of the document you wish to hide/show.

I'm not completely sure it will work for sub sections within sub sections but I think it's probably worth a try.
