Integrated Participant and Facilitator Guides

The Problem

Maintaining separate documents for participants and facilitators was causing several issues:

  • mismatched page numbers
  • twice the updates
  • out-of-date content
The Goal

Use one document for both facilitator and participant content where both can be updated simultaneously

How I Did It

Using the hidden text feature in Microsoft Word, I developed a document template that hides facilitator-only content while creating the document. Then, simply hiding or showing some content when printing would yield either a participant guide or a facilitator guide.

Microsoft Word
DocuTools

See this template in action!
Both of these were printed from the same source document.
