Hi p,

What Steve means is something like this:

This will toggle the current section beteween hidden and not hidden:

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\Section").Range.Font.Hidden = _
Not ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\Section").Range.Font.Hidden

or, with the Selection object you achieve the same result:

Selection.Sections(1).Range.Font.Hidden = _
Not Selection.Sections(1).Range.Font.Hidden

If you want a particular section, without necessarily selecting it:

This will toggle section #2:
ActiveDocument.Section(2).Range.Font.Hidden = _
Not ActiveDocument.Section(2).Range.Font.Hidden

HTH
Cheers!
