How do make a table collapsible?
I am working with a table and I would like to make it collapsible so that
users can view the entire table or the can hide the sub-tasks and just have an outline view. Thank you for your assistance.

How do make a table collapsible?
Hi DWatkins2008,
Word has no built-in capacity to collapse table rows. However, if you use Word's Heading Styles appropriately, then you may be able to get what you want by switching to Outline View and double-clicking the + symbols. Other than that, if your tables are suitably structured, you may be able to use a macro to minimise the height of various rows (hiding rows, per se, is not possible). -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "DWatkins2008" wrote in message ...

You could also try to use hidden text for the "collapsible" parts. Users can then choose whether to view hidden text or not (... easy to do with the ΒΆ button, or Tools Options View). They could also choose whether to print the hidden text (Tools Options Print). In a table, the "hidden" formatting would need to be applied to whole rows. More elaborately, you could use styles, and have a macro (toolbar button...) toggle certain styles between "hidden" and "not hidden". Regards, Klaus
