I had several paragraphs I wanted to hide BUT save in case I made a decision they were needed. I selected the paragraphs, then went to:

mnuFormat > Font > chkHidden

All the text hide. I then had to move up some double spacing to bring the following paragraph below the text to reflect a double space.

QUESTIONS
1) How do I know that the hidden text even exists since it is hidden in order to get it back?
2) If I delete spacing, or move things around while the Text is Hidden, will that Text be over-ridden or corrupted in the sense it gets messed up.
3) Is strike-through a better option instead, and then just hide paragraphs one does NOT want exposed, when one goes to print?

Click on the paragraph mark in the formatting toolbar to reveal non-printing formatting characters. That will include hidden text, which will be displayed with a dotted underline.

This is a toggle. I usually work with these showing and then look at print preview to see what will print, or toggle the display off, and then back on.

When it is hidden, you can accidentally delete it, yes.


Also, if you truly want to be deleting this, look into Track Changes which lets you mark up documents as you prepare them, then accept all changes for the final document.

Thanks again Mr. Kenyon for your assistance on my behalf.
Undoing OLD TYPEWRITER approaches has been interesting to say the least.
