I am preparing an online form in Word where I want some sections to expand if
a certain condition applies, but remains hidden if the condition does not
apply. eg:
Is this a weed of agriculture? Yes/No
[If yes is clicked]
What are the major industries affected? [drop down list]
[If no is clicked, the ag question remains concealed]
Is this a weed of natural environments? Yes/No ...

Word Help file uses expandable/collapsible sections - I want to mimic that.
I do not want to have hyperlinks to other parts of the document, unless
necessary.

G'day "Di Granger" <Di Granger@discussions.microsoft.com>,

You can use the onexit and onentry events of your form fields to
unprotect, add boilerplate, and reprotect without resetting the
fields. Said boilerplate is usually stored as autotext entries, but
clevel use of the 'hidden' font property can also effect DHTML.
