I check the box Hidden Text under Tools/Options box but it
doesn't stay hidden after I get out of the document. Is
there a trick to it?

There is a view option to view hidden text. This is a user setting rather
than a document setting.

If you are checking the box on the View tab of Tools | Options, you are
telling Word to *display* Hidden text. If you want to format text as Hidden,
select it and use Format | Font | Hidden or Ctrl+Shift+H. It will not be
displayed unless you use Show All or check the box on the View tab, and it
will not print unless you check the "Hidden text" box on the Print tab of
Tools | Options.
