one possibility: all the content that should be visible is assigned a
special character style, which has the "hidden" text property set.
That way, you can print a short/long document by toggling Tools |
Options | Print: hidden text.
[Or you leave that off always, and toggle the character style's property
directly.]
Both can be done with very short macros, put on a toolbar for your
readers' benefit.

that should've read: "all the content that should be in the detailed
version only is assigned ..."

Thanks Robert,
The 'plot thickens' I will try and set up a template .doc with toolbar
buttons that can run the macro to Set_Print_Summary (exclude hidden
text-Print Options) or Set_Print_Detail. It has now been pointed out to me
that the doc's need to then be Adobe'd for security so I need to explore
whether Adobe has this "reader detail choice" functionality.
Thanks for your help,
Ditch
