Default Merging more documents into one

Hy guys,


I'm trying to create a document in which two questions are presented, each one of them with two possible answer and followed by a button. Something like:

Question 1: ..... ?
Answer 1: Option1 Option2 ;

Question 2: ...... ?
Answer 2: Option3 Option4

"Create document(Button)"

Besides this I want to have 4 separate documents, each one "linked" to every option like Doc1 (for Option1) , Doc2 (for Option2) , Doc3 (for Option3) and Doc4 (for Option).

What I hope to get as an end result is when I select as answers for example Option1 and Option4 and I press my "Create document" button, a new document to be created in which the two documents named Doc1 and Doc4 (in this case) are merged.
After this, it would be helpful if this newly created document would have at the beginning an automatic table of contents and an automatic page numbering as well. As info, I am using Office 2007 on a Windows 7.
Due to the fact that my knowledge about ActiveX controls and VBA codes is close to none I would highly appreciate any idea, suggestion or even your opinion if this is achievable or not.

Thank you in advance!

I would do this by saving each 'document' as a building block in the template. You could do the entire thing without coding if you then made use of the building block type content controls.

You could probably do something slicker with a userform to get the user selections but that might be considered overkill if your users don't mind a little scrolling.

The best source of information on how this might work would be Greg Maxey's website. Try this link to explore this option http://gregmaxey.com/word_tip_pages/..._autotext.html

Thanks a lot Guessed for the answer. I'll take a look and see if I can do it this way.
