Hi there,

How can I set up checkboxes in Word so that they control the visibility of content? I’ve attached the document I’m working on.

Here’s what I’d like to achieve:

When the document is opened, all content is hidden by default.

A chapter only appears when its checkbox is ticked.

Within Chapter 1, I’ve added an extra layer of control: it contains three topics, each with its own checkbox. Those topics should remain hidden unless their individual checkbox is ticked (after Chapter 1 itself is revealed).

Do I need to use macros for this, and if so, what kind of code would I need? Or could it be done with bookmarks?

Thanks so much for your help—this confused noob really appreciates it!
