Default Making a field with changing text based on mouse click.

So basically what I want is a section of text that explains what is in a text box (sort of like spoiler tags) on a word document that changes when the user clicks on it.



For example:

The reader initially sees:

Real Estate listing Data by development

Fake Location 1

Fake location 2

Fake location 3

When the user clicks on each of those locations the text changes to the relevant information. I'd prefer an actual text box since the description is probably going to be longer than a location designation, but for the example it works..

Is this possible? And if not, is it possible to use 'spoiler' tags in a word document?

How about hyperlinks to separate documents or web pages?

If the things in the text box will not change often, you could do it as AutoText with macros and MacroButton Fields. See my Checkbox Add-In for an example of macrobutton fields that change their contents upon a user click.

Also, look into the AutoTextList field.
