If that's the case, the simplest way would be to use two custom document properties - SpouseA and SpouseB, with corresponding DOCPROPERTY fields at the relevant locations and simply swap the document property contents, then do a print preview to update the display. The same could be done for variable his/her, him/her, he/she & husband/wife references, too. Indeed, for the his/her, him/her, he/she & husband/wife references, a single custom document property could be used, holding just the sex (m/f) and the custom document property fields could be combined with IF field tests to conditionally output the his/her, him/her, he/she & husband/wife content, as appropriate. basically, just three custom document properties for all the variations you need to deal with - two for the names & one for the sex.
