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 of line 2 instead of line 3! Bizarroworld. I’m
using Word 2010.

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

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.
