Default Interactive Filtering in Word

This is what I am trying to do and I was wondering if it was possible to do in Word:

I have one very large Word document with 3 different components. 1) General Processes 2) Processes for 'A' 3) Processes for 'B'.

Is it possible to create a filter or function at the beginning of this document where if I wanted to only see the general processes throughout the document, I would be able to click something to pull in all general processes and hide the rest. Alternatively, if I wanted to see only processes specific to 'A', I could filter the document to only see processes with 'A'? And so on and so forth.

Please let me know if this is doable. I searched everywhere on the internet and wasn't able to find anything.

Yes, you can. The actual method chosen to do this would depend on whether there is overlap in 'modes'.

If each variable part can tagged either by:
- Including in a Rich Text Content Control
- Bookmarks (allow overlapping)
- Styles

Then a macro could be used to set the relevant sections to Hidden or Visible. Depending on what method you choose, the code can be developed to achieve the result you desire.
