Hidden text activated by hyperlinks (you know, like in Office Help pages)

I have recently installed Office XP (WOrd, Excel, etc..)
on my machine, and have been browsing the associated help
pages to get to grip with it. I like the way Microsoft
have included "Keywords" as hyperlinks and when you click
on them the show further descriptive text (the green
text). Is there any way for a home user to do this within
their own personal documents (patch download/upgrade for
example), or is this restricted to the realms of the
developers of MS Office?
Can any one help?
Cheers.

Hi James,

This would require some VBA (macros), although not
necessarily a lot of really fancy code.

Word doesn't have the dynamic HTML functionality that's
caught your fancy. You'd have to do something like
formatting the text with a specific style, and changing the
"hidden" font formatting. (There would be other ways, but
that's the simplest I can think of as far as the coding
would go.)
