Create expandable text to show definition of terms

[Laura C]

I am creating a web page in word. I would like the viewer to be able to
click on a linked term within the paragraph to get a definition that would
expand out, and collapse in when the term is clicked a second time. The Help
section of all office products use this to help explain their terms.

Example below. When you click on XML schema the information in parenthesis
opens up.

If you have an XML schema (XML Schema: A formal specification, written in
XML, that defines the structure of an XML document, including element names
and rich data types, which elements can appear in combination, and which
attributes are available for each element.)

Any help would be great.

First, if you want to have a serious Web Page that loads on all browsers
quickly and without surprises, you should not use Word, especially if you
want such special elements.
You should use a dedicated Web Page editor, there are literally hundreds of
free ones (Search for Web Page Editors on Tucows for example), or if you
have FrontPage in your Office Suite, even better.

Second, I think this should be asked in a "Web Editing" newsgroup, you would
have more chances to get real Web solutions.
