You can shrink a document so that only the headings are visible by using the “Collapse” option in Microsoft Word. When you need to gain a general overview of a lengthy document or are working on a specific area of it without needing to see the rest of the content, this can be useful.
Use the Collapse option to make a document simpler to read if you need to add a lot of content. By collapsing the text, you can create an outline for the document that will make it easier for you to find the required information. Using the Collapse option, you can hide text that you don’t want printing or want to keep private.
