Microsoft Word 2007 comes with built-in features that help you format documents. You can make your text appear in small caps, superscript and shadows, or, even, hide text you don’t want others to see. When you hide text, any selected text, images, tables and objects are hidden, as well. You can hide a word, paragraph, page or entire document in Word 2007, and display it whenever you need to. You can’t tell that a page contains hidden text unless you reveal the hidden text.
Open the document you want to edit in Microsoft Word 2007.
Select the page you want to hide, including text, tables and other content within the page.
Select the “Home” tab in the Ribbon, and then click on the arrow in the bottom of the “Font” group (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+D). The “Font” dialog box opens. Select the “Font” tab, and place a check mark by “Hidden.” Click on “OK.” The selected page is now hidden.
Hide multiple pages within your document by selecting the content as you did in Step 2. Open the “Font” dialog box, add a check mark to “Hidden,” and click on «OK.»
Reveal pages by selecting your entire document (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+A), so you won’t miss hidden content. Open the “Fonts” dialog box. The option for “Hidden” is shaded, indicating that some parts of the document are hidden. Click on the “Hidden” option twice, until there is no shading or check mark, and click on “OK.”
Show hidden text automatically in Word 2007 by selecting the Microsoft Office Button and choosing “Word Options.”
Choose the “Display” category, and place a check mark by “Hidden Text,” and then click on “OK.” Your hidden text and pages are now visible in Word 2007.
Warnings
Hiding text is not secure. You can protect your document by selecting the “Review” tab in Word 2007. Click on “Protect Document” and “Restrict Formatting and Editing.”

How do I hide and then unhide entire pages in Word?

There is no concept of ‘page’ in Word, so the nearest you can probably
arrange are:
1. To conditionally insert the ‘page’ with includetext or autotext fields
2. Format the text as hidden and display hidden text (or not).
3. Apply a white coloured text attribute to the bit you want to hide and
remove it to display the text.

Hiding pages in Word
Hi guys,
As the title says i am looking for a method to hide pages in word, whilst i am pretty sure this is impossible i thought if i explained my scenario someone may be able to come up with a suggestion.
Basically i am working on a project to combine 5 templates, they are all very similar and have lots of the same details.
I have developed a form that populates all the neccasary details but i am really struggling with the way to display the document. Out of the five files that are now combined i want to be able to only view one of them, even though they are all in the same document, is there anyway i can either hide pages or lock the screen so it can not scroll? (the screen locking may not be such a great idea as if users use a low resolution then they will lose the most the page)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have been racking my brains on this one.
Many thanks
Tim

Hi Tim
How about setting a bookmark to encompass each section. You could then use code to set the font in unwanted sections to Hidden.MVP (Excel 2008-2010)
Post a workbook with sample data and layout if you want a quicker solution.

What I want to know is…why? Are you possibly going to bring them back into view? If you are not, then simply delete the sections that are not applicable.

Consider using styles. If the material to be hidden uses styles based on a common style, changing it to hidden (or white font) will make it disappear. You can either attach a different template or set up a button to toggle the style definition.
I’ve used this frequently for training materials: a single manual can contain the trainer and student notes, and the toggle turns off the trainer notes to print a student manual.
Be aware that hidden text will still be visible if a user toggles the View display.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, the reason i am trying to go down this path is because the people that to use this document would like it as easy as possible and they think that seeing all five of the templates in one document would possibly confuse the user.
I did manage to come up with a kind of solution but do not like it myself, basically the 5 templates are now in one file, each one of the 5 templates has there own form fields which allow editing, depending on which document they want enable the fields and disable all others. I also disabled the scroll bars and mouse wheel so they can not even scroll to another page without using the form.
Think i am going to pursue this technique a little further to see how it goes although disabling the mouse wheel using the API seems a little bit over the top so i might scrap that as has been proving a little buggy.
Thanks for your advice all and i will let you know how i get on.
Many thanks
Tim
