Thanks for your reply - it would be great to avoid that, however. I realize I "could" use content controls, etc. to redo the project from scratch, but would like to have some ideas how not to recreate everything before jumping to that as this is a complex doc and the issue is not with how to repeat the text or insert conditional text, it is only to get a user interface for multiple people without having to jump through the document. So a user form with VBA is preferable to controls that require tabbing through or the existing method with ASK fields. If there is anyone out there with any ideas for VBA that may accomplish just "setting" bookmark values without inserting into a bookmark location or placing multiple ASK fields into a dialog/userform, that is likely what is likely will get me where I need to go at this point with the time frame/cost involved.
