The ability to have collapsible paragraphs is essential for educators, proposal writers, and everyone else I can think of.
- Students - imagine drafting your papers by starting with your outline and expanding/collapsing the arguments as you see fit (been there, done that)
- Teachers - imagine creating tests that you can print without the answers, but have the answers native to that very test document? ( I was a teacher, I know)
- Proposal writers, much like students, have a manageable document to ensure you've covered all the proposal criteria, without combing through lots of pages... (I've been and am a proposal writer, I know)
- Me - who drafts updates to manuals and policies and finds this tool immensely powerful!
Thanks. Really. I needed this.

"Simply great! I highly recommend it for people working with long documents likes books, dissertations and reports because it takes away the need to have several short files while keeping that convenience."

"It is very very useful..."

"More.. applies what we learnt in large prosecutions using graphics, to written communications. The challenge is to communicate clearly without initially distracting or overwhelming the reader with details. Once someone is comfortable with the framework of your message, it enables you to reveal more detail, one digestible piece at a time. It does a brilliant job of protecting us from complexity."
- Simon Lewis, Sinch
"More useful than my car keys!"

"Life is complex... but our documents shouldn't be. The More.. add-in allows you to document this complexity and then hide it. Once your readers have understood "the big picture", they can click a "more" to reveal the details they are interested in. It's almost as good as sitting with each reader and instantly responding when they ask for more details. More.. lets you create complex documents which reveal the details when requested by the reader. This is a case where More.. is more."
- Peter Evans, University lecturer
"Collapsible documents have many uses. An excellent idea! It's a great way to present and organise information electronically."

"More is an exceptional MS Word add-in for creating collapsibles, i.e, option for collapsing and expanding the content in the document...It has proved to be one brilliant add-in which will abet users in summarizing the document. All the complementary features and tools can also assist you in navigating through enormous and complex document whilst allowing you to show/hide only specific part of the document."

"This tool’s name doesn’t do it justice. More Add-in lets you quickly and easily hide Word text by creating collapsible sections. Anyone who creates long documents comprising the same blocks of text will find this add-in useful. No more combining or merging…. just clicks! In addition, you can hide notes or any kind of content you want to include but not share. (But don’t use this add-in to hide confidential data.) Or temporarily hide sections so you can print some sections and not others."

"An amazing and essential Add-in for Microsoft Word!" More Add-in adds collapsible sections (hide/show) functionality to Microsoft Word and extends on this idea in an innovative and incredibly useful way.
More is a Word (2007 and 2010) add-in that has been created to allow you to create collapsibles (which are document markers which when clicked hide and unhide document content). This is fantastic for providing documents that double as executive summaries of information and opinions and at the same time can be expanded to reveal more detailed information. E.g. by using More Add-in there is no need to create executive summaries at the begging of reports to summarize report content. Just create the key points that would form the executive summary as collapsibles, and the reader of the report can hide/unhide collapsibles to reveal extra detail of the summarized item they want to see.
The developers of More have then taken this idea further and added great functionality to the Add-in that really makes it unique. E.g. you can use more to turn every heading in a document into a collapsible. This is great for turning a report into an instant executive summary. The same can be done for list paragraphs in a document. You can also remove collapsibles individually one at a time or collectively from a document. You can open and close all "More's" at once as well.
The text or shapes (markers) shown for the collapsible can be chosen from a wide variety of types including Select type...; Default; Custom; Blank; Discrete; More..Less; Show..Hide; + /-; Details; Comment; Chart; Graphic; Image; Disturbing; Table; Formula; Equation; Background; Example; Examples; Transcript; Reason; Objection etc. Marker types can be applied to collapsibles collectively to that the selected style of all collapsible can be changed at the same time.
Moreover (no pun intended) More allows you to print the collapsibles (unexpanded) as the contents page for a document rather than having to print the whole document at once!
The features mentioned above are all able to be accessed from the More Add-in tab which is naturally entitled "More". The main functionality comes from the "Create" button on the more tab which the begging to creating "More's" which can then be customized to the user individual tastes and heart's content.
In short More Add-in is a wonderful, well thought out Add-in that will save you a fortune of time, aggravation and money once you use it and you will soon wonder how you ever got by without it.
I strongly recommend you purchase a copy. It will pay for itself in no time!

This add-in allows you to make expandable segments in Word documents. This is especially helpful if you work with long documents composed of the same blocks of text because it reduces the file space taken by the repetitive data. It also helps reduce clutter in your documents by letting you hide the items you don't want to print (such as graphics), which can also make navigation easier.
