>>There IS a format called "hidden". You might want to use that. You can mark a large section, and just hide it. If you set Word to "show all" (the "paragraph symbol" icon that shows ENTER, tabs, and spaces), hidden text is shown.

>So, basically, we can hide a specific section. Thus, it no longer appears until we show it again. But, if we have a document with a section hidden, we send that to a user, is the user able to see that there is a section hidden and show it?

That's correct; it doesn't disappear completely, and a tech-savvy user can still access it. If you don't want some sections to be available to the user at all, I guess you'll just have to delete them, or to copy and paste the sections you want to include. Some ideas that come to mind are:
  • Use Word macros to delete parts you don't want - just before delivering the document.
  • Or alternately, join segments that are in different documents - once again, just before delivering the document.
  • Similar to the above, but with Automation, from Visual FoxPro or some other language.
