Notice the line numbering in the screenshot below. The lines from 2 to 20 are "folded out". To see these lines one can click the plus sign.

Paragraph folding

I want to create a document in Word with this functionality. Is it possible? It should be possible to create nested paragraphs that are "folded out".

Because I want to distribute the document, it would be good if this worked for older versions of Word.

There is outline mode which will do this for headers – Mark Sep 21 '11 at 11:18
@Mark Thank you for that. That answers my question, but I tried it using Word 2010, and the look of it was so mediocre that it is not useful. Also I do not know how to send a document that requires that the reader is in outline mode. In addition, I am hoping for a way to say, which paragraphs should be "folded out" and, which ones should not. – David Sep 21 '11 at 12:51
There is a plugin that provides a macro based solution... moreaddin.com – ernii Feb 28 at 16:28
