Is there a way to have sections display/hide based on a boolean or text field in the document properties?



I have been able to use the ImportFragment function to take a couple of templates and import them but i'm not getting the results that are desired.

Ok that was kind of a high level and vague description of what i am looking for. More details:

I have a SharePoint workflow that allows users to select what sections they want in a template. After they click check boxes for a "Clarifications and Conditions" section or certain appendices, those results are promoted to the Word documents server properties. From there, i am hoping to either construct the template based on the users responses and a function like ImportFragment or use some type of VBA to hide sections if the check box was not selected.

Is this possible and am i going about it the wrong way?

Thanks in advance and let me know if any more details would help clarify the scenario.

You could use an IF field to conditionally display content based on a DOCPROPERTY value. For example:
{IF{DOCPROPERTY MyProp}= 1 "Some content" "Some other content"}
However, that content remains within the field unless you unlink it (which you could do with a macro). You should also consider using custom Quick Parts instead of DOCPROPERTY fields and the like.
