Generating text from table selections
Hi guys,
I want to create a parametric template in word that a simple input can change the output. For exmaple, I'll use checkboxes for: Tests that were done: Spike Test [ x ] Rock Test [ x ] Paper Test [ x ] How many repeat tests were done in every test: (Choose a number) - 2 And then I get a word document with the following: Quote:
How do I go about it? |

It looks like you are asking for a kind of complex solution and no-one is particularly excited about solving it for you. The question is kind of general and seems to be a fishing expedition. What research have you conducted so far and how do you envisage the user providing the inputs to create the output? Are you expecting a dialog box to manage this or would you want content controls in a form to be how the user selects options?
Also there is complexity hidden in the details here. Converting a 2 into twice is complex because we would need a lookup table to convert 1 to once 2 to twice 3 to thrice 4 to four times etc 5 to heaps and heaps What if one test was performed more times than the other tests? What if something did fail? What if it failed on the first test but not on retests? What if it failed on the second test but not on the first? If I was doing it, I would store the individual test blurbs as building blocks in the template. I would probably use a vba userform to ask for the tests list and the repeating number of tests. Then the content would get added to the document based on the form selections. But you do need to make a start and do some research. If you have done enough research to ask a focused question and can provide some of the inputs so people aren't setting up the framework which may or may not be applicable, you are more likely to get answers here that help you complete the project.
