I'll be the first to advise the existing methods for the 1.1.? versions of OOo of hiding paragraphs is a little tricky.
The best thing is that with the Version 2.0 beta's it is alot easier. The hidden ability is part of the character style. Accordingly you create a new character style, select 'hidden' from "font effects" tab. Apply the character style to text and it'll be hidden. Apologies for not assisting with the question if your using version 1 of OOo. /paul On 7/6/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have read the OOo help over and over but I cannot get the hang of hidden > paragraphs/conditional text/whatever.
