There is no way you can implement this with just one document. By definition, an INCLUDETEXT field refers to an external document, so that means having two documents. The whole point of what I've been trying to get across is that each company can have it's own source document, whose content they can change as needed, without having to update anything 'shared'. With the approach I'm suggesting, no-one needs to update a DocVariable, either.

I said nothing about a bookmark being used 'to not display text that is part of the document'. Rather, and empty bookmark can be used to avoid errors that an INCLUDETEXT field might produce if the bookmark were missing altogether. Quite a different proposition.
