I am using Word 2002 to write puzzles, riddles etc and I want to hide the
answer until the reader clicks somewhere. How can I do this?

Try a macrobutton field that pops up a Message box with the answer (and
deselects the field).

See http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/fields.htm#MacroButton,
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm and
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm for more
about macrobutton fields.

Many thanks for the suggestions. I have had most success following the
procedure contained in the document "Run a macro when user double-clicks a
button in the document". This is easy to do and works very well. Thanks
David
