All,
How to show/hide specific sections(assume a paragraph) of a document by checking/unchecking a checkbox (I'm using Word 2003)
How to lock/unlock a specific section(assume a paragraph) of a document based on (Checking / Unchecking)check boxes
Can we achieve this without using VBA in Microsfot Word 2003
If at all i need to use VBA, as i'm not familiar with VBA, can anybody provide the sample code to show/hide parts(assume if i check the checkbox, i need to see a paragraph in the document, by unchecking the checkbox it should be hided) of the document using check boxes.
Clear instruction with sample code (if i need to use VBA) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Maruthi.

Hi Maruthi,
As Mike mentioned, you can hide the font of a selection, or range by setting the Hidden property to True. If you've added a checkbox to a VSTO Word solution, you can try the following code. This code hides the font of the first paragraph in the document; you can change it to work with a specific range:
Private
Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged If Me.CheckBox1.Checked Then
Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Font.Hidden = True
Else
Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Font.Hidden = False
End If End Sub
I hope this helps.

In general terms, you should be able to do this in a Word document, without needing to put a VBA project in the document. VSTO provides a means to work with ActiveX controls embedded in the document, such as a checkbox. Mike Walker gave you the basic code that hides/unhides text in a Word document.
As for protecting/unprotecting: what type of protection do you have in mind Protecting as a form The "read-only" type of protection provided in Word 2003 something else

Are you thinking of using Hidden text What are you intending to happen on the Print happening. Below is a sample to change a block of text to be hidden.
With Selection.Font
.Hidden = True
End With
This will now use Edit Properties to make hidden text visible or not in the UI or not.

My intention is to use check box, by means of which i would like to show/hide content.
If i check the checkbox the content ( assume a paragrpah of text ) should be displayed, when i uncheck the checkbox it should be hided. This is my primary intention. By the way i'm using Word 2003.
Can you provide me a resolution for this .
Thanks,
Maruthi.
