Default Auto-populating a word document

Hi,

I am developing a document for multiple organisations to use.

The specification will contain 10-20 pages of text, which have already been written, but will vary depending on a number of choices and answers to questions (let's say 10). Effectively if they answer yes/no to each, I want the document to autopopulate depending on the answer that is given.

For example if they answer yes to all 10 questions, it would populate everything (20 pages)
For example if they answer yes to 5 and no to 5 it would populate half of the text (15 pages)

1) Is this possible to do in word without using excel and/or Mail Merge?
2) What is best alternative to Mail Merge - i.e. could this be done by hiding text using the 'headings' expand/collapse triangle
3) Does this require VBA of some sort?

Many many thanks in advance!!
Chris
