Default Making a user form that creates docs by combining text blocks in preset combos

Hello all,
I am trying to create a system through which sections of text (building blocks?) can be combined in different pre-set ways to make new documents. To give some context, I am working with a contract that has many different versions depending on what product the client is signing up for. Because there are so many versions, editing a part of the contract is a tedious and error-prone process in that all the different versions must be manually edited to reflect the change.

My idea is that if I could create a master list of contract "blocks" (some of which are re-used in every contract and some of which are version specific) then all I would need to do is edit a blocks once, and then any contract that is created by combining the different blocks would reflect the changes.

Ideally there would be some sort of user forum that would ask what version of the contract you want, and then the code would combine the blocks and spit out a document.

Any ideas or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance!
