In a word, no. Perhaps you could explain why you're trying to use a content control this way.

I'm attempting to automate an MS Word order form from one of our suppliers using mail merge along with data exported from our project database. The order form asks if the specifying engineer is in our sales territory and has a YES checkbox and an NO checkbox. If NO is selected, the user should enter the engineer company name and city in the form fields provided, otherwise leave them blank. We're not allowed to change the order form. Since we have the info in our database, it is always exported whether it is needed or not. But I don't want it to show on the form unless it is required.
