What's the best way to hide/show specific paragraph? I want to have some
kind of switch to kind certain paragraphs.

Thanks.

You can format it as hidden (Format - Font), then toggle Hidden text on/off
(Tools - Options - View, 4th option under Formatting Marks).

Nice! Now, here's another thing...can I just hide or unhide certain part of
the hidden text? For example, if i have hidden text in both pages 1 and
2...can i just show page 1 hidden text but not page 2?

You can use different paragraph styles, to which you can apply or remove the
Hidden formatting as needed.

No. It's all or nothing. You could write a macro to manage such a toggle,
perhaps using styles as the vehicle, and applying/removing the hidden
attribute to those styles to effect the toggle.
