Exclamation 'Filtering' a Word Document

Hi All,

I hope my message finds you well!

I am a HR Process Consultant currently working on a template for Work Instructions. These will be word documents, providing direction to HR professionals in the company on how to execute processes.

There will be one document to accommodate requirements from different countries and legal entities. This means that each process step will contain some general global information and then will deep-dive into process localisations.

Due to the volume of localisations, the document becomes long, not user friendly and somewhat confusing. It would be a lot more helpful if there was a way for users to filter on the information they are looking for, e.g. US only or Legal Entity X, and access only the global information and the info they want.

Each step of the document consists of a Word table, which is split in two columns and multiple rows. Each row includes either a step or a localisation. The left column includes a summary of the content of the row, for example 'fill in form X' or 'UK localisation'. The right column includes the actual content, for example detailed steps to fill in form X.



Could you please advise on the following:

- Is there a way to filter the whole document in order to see only the required info? For example, filter by US and see the Global and US rows of all tables in the document and no rows for other countries.

- If this is not feasible, what is the closest alternative?

- If you suggest a solution, could you please advise how much effort would it take to implement in a 20 page document with around 10 steps (10 tables), so that I can estimate time required?

Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance


Kind regards,
Andy
