Different Hyperlinks collapse/expand different Headings within Word 2013

Question

I understand that using Word's preset Heading styles and formats, they can be collapsed or expanded upon clicking each Heading.

I was wondering if it is possible to initially have all Headings collapsed, and, upon clicking one of a number of hyperlinks at the top of the page (or hyperlinks that are external to the document if this is more feasible), have a specific group of the Headings expand to show the information that is under them, whilst leaving the rest collapsed?

I am using Microsoft Word 2013. 

Thank you in advance.

Answer 2

Hi,

I have searched an array of forums and support areas but so far found no solution to my issue.

I would like to use Microsoft Word as a collective instruction area for a number of different operations that share some, but not all processes. For this reason, I would like the instruction user to be able to click a hyperlink at the top of the document that corresponds to the operation they would like to perform, and as a result the process instructions under headings that are relevant to this operation expand, whilst leaving all other 'process headings' collapsed.

All this really requires is the ability to hyperlink a piece of text within a Word document to the action of expanding a (or multiple) heading(s).

If this isn't feasible, perhaps you might be able to offer an alternative solution?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Alternatively, would it be possible to have external hyperlinks open the document in different formats, i.e., with different headings expanded or collapsed?
