Default Make pages/sections disappear depending on selection from dropdown list

Hi!



I would like to know how can I make things from my word document disappear/get hidden, when in a dropdown list at the very top, I select a particular opcion.
The thing is that depending on the option, ideally, the people should see either the whole document or just parts of it.

How can I do it?

Thanks so much

You can do it with a macro that automatically executes as the user moves out of the content control. You will find several threads in the VBA section of this forum where people have asked similar questions. An example is here...

If you want to do this, you will need to become somewhat familiar with macros. They are a way of getting the most out of Word.
What you want to do is not available without a macro. It is time to put on your learning hat.
