Post Create a word document by answering questions?

Hello,

This is a long shot. I use Word a great deal but I am looking for a feature that I suspect doesnt exist. I have plenty of template letters for business that are all pretty similar except for small details.

A colleague assures me that they used to build documents in word by 'answering questions'. I know that there is 'Ask Fields' and merges, but Ask simply asks the questions at the start, when the document is opened.

My colleague believes they used word, opened a document and as you would get options such as "Is this a mortgage application letter? YES NO" and if tick the yes button, the mortgage application text would be added to the document.
"Is this a friend or business contact?" and depending on what you select the appropriate text is added to the document.

Basically building up a document bit by bit, by selecting pre-written sections.

Is this something that can be done?

Id appreciate any experts help!

Many thanks
