This is not an area that I know a lot about...



I'd love to be able to create a word document by dragging individual paragraphs (or text snippets?) that were stored individually and dropping them into that new document. I guess that this is some kind of content management or document automation function -- but most of these seem to be overkill for what I need.

I simply want to have maybe around 100 or so text building blocks that I can keep up-to-date, so that when I use them in different documents - I'm accessing the latest and consistent versions.

Any suggestions?

To collect blocks of text from other documents, you can use INCLUDETEXT fields. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...textfields.htm.

This is what I want.

I want a tool that works on top of micorsoft word.

I type a lot of proposals, many are the same with different tweaks to each section.
There are about 20 topics or sections of these proposals.
Some sections do not apply to each proposal.
I want a tool that provides me with a check list of every section name.
Then let's say I choose for 7 of the twenty sections.
Of those 7 selected another box appears with options on which language/paragraph to choose for that proposal.
It inserts those paragraphs and basically types a document for me.
