You didn't need to change my code other than to change the sET to something else eg strET.



The dropdown Content Control needs the title EmploymentType

As Graham says, hiding content is problematic if you are sending docs to other people without converting to PDF first. If you get it working as it is, I can explain how to permanently delete the hidden content.

Hey Guessed, I have got it working although it is not correct. Everything goes into hidden text. I did change the sSET to what Graham suggested.
I propose if I can get this going to create a macro to delete all hidden text.
Any suggestions as to why everything turns to hidden text? I have checked that the names are all consistent within the VB code and the content controls.

Also which I find a bit strange, even though the content control text is in hidden text (I can tell because of the dotted line underneath the text) - I can see it on the screen even though I have selection in File/Options do not show hidden text (box unticked).

Here is the current code placed in "this document" :

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal myCC As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim aCC As ContentControl, strSet As String
If myCC.Title = "Full Time" Then
strSet = myCC.Range.Text
For Each aCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
aCC.Range.Font.Hidden = aCC.Title <> strSet 'hide if CC title doesn't match selected employment type
Next aCC
End If

If myCC.Title = "Part Time" Then
strSet = myCC.Range.Text
For Each aCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
aCC.Range.Font.Hidden = aCC.Title <> strSet 'hide if CC title doesn't match selected employment type
Next aCC
End If

If myCC.Title = "Casual" Then
strSet = myCC.Range.Text
For Each aCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
aCC.Range.Font.Hidden = aCC.Title <> strSet 'hide if CC title doesn't match selected employment type
Next aCC
End If

End Sub

thank you for your assistance, sorry about keep coming back - I think the error is something very simple, but I'm unable to see it.
