Hiding/Showing sections or multipe pages

[Doug]

I think this is a simple problem....

I am working on a Word doc that is several pages of forms. These forms are
broken down into sections usually 1 to 4 pages in length. What I would like
to do is add a listbox or control button on the first page that will make
only certain sections visible. I could set the Page.Visible property to
false for each page in a given "section," but a problem arises if someone
else needs to edit the forms, possibly extending the section onto another
page. I don't want to have to change the code each time this happens.

Is there anyway to group several pages into one object, and then hide that
object? If so, is there an easy way for someone editing the document to
add/remove pages from that object or section?

Thanks!
Doug

Hi Doug,

There is no "page" object in the Word object model. However, since you have
a document in sections, you can simply hide/unhide the range when you need
to.

ActiveDocument.Sections(3).Range.Font.Hidden = True

Great, that seems to work.

Thanks for the help,
Doug
