Dynamic Document

[osheaj1705]

Hi all, I have a challenge and i could not find info anywhere on how to do this. I hope you can help!



Basically, i am writing a document that will be 100+ pages. This document will have up to 20 or more different headings and in every one of these headings, i will be breaking it down to 5/6 different subheadings. Each main heading will have the same 5/6 subheading names.

What i want to do is in the title page, i want to list those 5/6 subheadings as a dropdown list and when i select any one of them, the whole document will only display anything that was written under that subheading and every other subheading/text will disappear unless i selected to show all.

Is this even possible or have i amined too high?

Thanks for any help you can give!
Jack

Hi Jack,

Have you tried working with Word's Outline view (for which you need to use Word's Heading Styles)? Changing the 'show' level determines the depth of the heading levels you can use to expand/contract the displayed content.

An alternative approximation is to use Word's Heading Styles, plus a Table of Contents (via a TOC field) at the font of the document. Click on a heading entry in the TOC and you'll be taken to that part of the document.
