Thank you for the suggestion. I notice though that the hidden section does not re-appear with the Print|LibreOfficeWrite dialogue when I uncheck/check the "Print Hidden Text" So, is there a way to make the other hidden text
print along with the section (as you wrote about) with the use of the
variable?

It is possible to conditionally hide a paragraph by inserting a special field.

NOTE: I do not have an English version at hand, so check the names ;)

Let's say you already have a variable called MyVariable and you want to hide the text (and the sections) when its value is 1. On the paragraph you need to hide, go to Insert → Field → More fields → Functions → select Hidden paragraph and on Condition type

MyVariable==1

and insert.

NOTE: hidden paragraphs will still be visible unless you UNcheck View → Hidden paragraphs.

Ricardo

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to make a hidden table in LibreOffice Writer (I can make hidden characters but I'd like to make hidden tables)
... if not could that be made a reality?


It is possible to insert the table on a section (Insert → Section) and
then hide the section. Sections accept any kind of contents and you can
even have a section within a section.

It is also possible to set a condition to hide/unhide the section
automatically using a variable: Set a variable (Insert → Field → More
fields → Variable tab) named, for example, MyVariable and give it a value, for example 2. Now insert the frame and check the "hide" option, writing
under "condition"

MyVariable==1

Here the section will be visible, but if you double click on the variable
and change its value to 2, the section will hide immediately.

Regards,
Ricardo



[I use hidden text/information in my documents because I am a teacher and in a test for example, the questions for students are not hidden and the
answers are hidden WITHIN the same document.  That way I can hide the
answers and print a test for the students and unhide text and print an
answer key.]

Thank you.

Henry
