Hello all
I would like to hide certain lines in my Word form by checkbox.
I think this is possible with VBA, but I don't know exactly how. Ex. for understanding; I have a table with three columns and 5 rows. In each row certain tasks are listed and some of them are used only sporadically. My wish would be to be able to hide these certain tasks via checkbox.
Can anyone help me out here.
Thanks a lot
Kind regards

There are three kinds of checkboxes in Word: Legacy form field, ActiveX Control, and Content Control. The method to do this is different for each.
The basic idea is that you bookmark a row, then use VBA like:
Sub HideRow()
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Row").Range.Text.Hidden = True
End Sub
Hi there
In my form it is about contentcontrol
For example:
What would the code look like for a table with two rows
The first row has two columns and the second column contains the checkbox (content control).
The second row has 4 columns and when I click on the checkbox the second row should collapse.
Thanks a lot
Just clicking on a content control checkbox will not run a macro. The user must tab out of the control for it to do anything (blame Microsoft for an incomplete implementation of CC events). Here's is a Stack Overflow page discussing how to code for this: How to run VBA script by clicking on ContentControl Checkbox in Word
Apply the bookmark to the second row and use the code I posted previously.
