Older version of Word, maybe? May 23, 2017

First of all, thanks for the answer.
If I press CTRL+D, it opens the font screen and I can't find "hidden" there or anywhere else. May this be an option not present in Word 2010?

I believe that pressing Ctrl+D opens Font window where there's an option "Hidden" as shown below:


font-hidden-word

Ctrl + Shift + H is easier and faster
