Example

This example checks the selection for hidden text.

If Selection.Type = wdSelectionNormal Then 
 If Selection.Font.Hidden = wdUndefined or _ 
 Selection.Font.Hidden = True Then 
 MsgBox "There is hidden text in the selection." 
 Else 
 MsgBox "No hidden text in the selection." 
 End If 
Else 
 MsgBox "You need to select some text." 
End If

This example makes all hidden text in the active window visible and then formats the selection as hidden text.

ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True 
If Selection.Type = wdSelectionNormal Then _ 
 Selection.Font.Hidden = True
