Clicking on it once will change it into a checkmark, which means all the text in the document will be hidden and clicking on it again will remove the checkmark, meaning no text in the document should be hidden. This means that some of the text selected is hidden and some is visible. This time you will see the Hidden checkbox does not have a checkmark in it, but is instead fully green. Press CTRL + A to highlight everything in the document, right-click on any highlighted portion and choose Font again.

Ok, so how do we go about getting the hidden text back to show up again the document? We basically follow the same procedure that when we hid the text. So what happened? Well, I’ll explain that in the next section when I talk about viewing hidden text in Word.

The first question that popped into my mind was what happens if I start typing in the blank area that held the text earlier? Well, I went ahead and tested it out by typing another paragraph where the hidden text was previously. The paragraph still exists and there are some interesting questions that arise now that it’s hidden. Go ahead and check that box.Ĭlick OK and POOF, your text is now gone! All I am left with is one paragraph with no sign of the other paragraph. In the Font dialog box, you’ll see the Hidden checkbox in the Effects section. Highlight the text that you would like to hide and then right-click on it and choose Font. Here is an example document I am using for illustrative purposes.

First open any document you might have that has a fair amount of text in it.
