Word 2010: Marco to Hide Tables

[JaredMcCullough]

I have never touched the VBA in word before so this whole process is new to me but I know some capability exists.

Essentially what I am looking for is pretty basic.

I have a series of tables (Table 1-10)

I have 3 "ActiveX Control" checkboxes

When the user selects Checkbox 1 I need tables 1,2,4,5 to be visible and the rest to be hidden
When the user selects Checkbox 2 I need tables 1,3,6,7 to be visible and the rest hidden
When the user select Checkbox 3 I need tables 1,8,9,10 to be visible and the rest hidden

Thanks in advance for any help as it would be much appreciated.

Trying to hide content is an unreliable way of managing document content. That's because whether content formatted as hidden remains visible - or even prints (regardless of whether it's visible) depends entirely upon how the user has Word configured (i.e. you cannot control this at the document level). The better approach is to start of with all tables visible and delete the unwanted ones, according to which ActiveX checkbox is checked.
