To make text invisible in Microsoft Word on Windows, you can use the “Hidden” formatting option. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Open your Microsoft Word document and select the text you want to hide. You can do this by clicking and dragging your cursor over the desired text.
2. Once the text is selected, right-click on it and choose the “Font” option from the context menu. Alternatively, you can click on the arrow at the bottom right of the Font section in the ribbon on the Home tab.
3. In the Font dialog box that appears, you will see various formatting options. Look for the checkbox labeled “Hidden” and check it.
4. After checking the “Hidden” box, click on the “OK” button to apply the changes.
By following these steps, the selected text will become invisible in your Word document. However, please note that the hidden text can still be revealed by changing the viewing settings in Word. To do this, go to the “File” tab, choose “Options,” select the “Display” category, and under the “Always show these formatting marks on the screen” section, make sure the “Hidden text” option is checked.
It’s important to keep in mind that hiding text in this manner is primarily intended for formatting purposes or to provide instructions to other users without making the text visible in the final printed or published document. If you want to secure sensitive information, such as passwords or confidential data, it is recommended to use stronger encryption methods or password protection.
