Gedday Neil,
I don't have any particular problems with it either as I generally have
the 'show all' turned on so I can see 'all' things. I was concerned that
there appeared to be a macro running (as there obviously is) even with
macros turned off.
I reckon Word is being a little inconsistent, though, in that if you
have hidden text of words within a sentence with 'show all' turned off
and type there, it doesn't turn on the 'show all' and display what
you're typing; it just lets you keep typing with nothing showing up.
Cheers,
Terry

Using Word 2003, on my machine the hidden text becomes visible by "show
all" turning on automatically (I normally have "show all" turned off")
but remains formatted as hidden text. What is happening following
Terry's steps below is that the new text is NOT being typed at the start
of the previous line 3, but is actually being typed at the beginning of
the hidden line 2. Word turns on "show all" to warn/advise you that you
are typing in an area containing hidden text. I don't have any real
problems with that behaviour and can see the reasoning behind it.
Do the following extra step:
With "show all" turned on, position the cursor at the beginning of line
3. Then turn off "show all" so that line 3 becomes line 2. Start typing
... the hidden text does not display, because we are now not typing in
an area of the document containing the hidden text.
Neil.

As Ken said, but with the new (unhidden) text at the beginning

The hidden line reappears in Word 2003, even though the Hidden
attribute is still applied to the original text in that line.
Cheers,
Ken

Here's a little experiment for you.
Type three separate lines of text separated by paragraph marks.
Make the middle line (including the para mark) hidden font.
If not already, make the hidden text not visible. The entire row
should disappear. Line 3 becomes line 2.
Put the cursor at the beginning of the new line 2 and type a
letter.
Tell me what happens on your computer.
