How to extract two different output documents from 1 master document?

[wimvanrompuy]

I have 1 master document describing all the procedures of my (small) company.
Some of them are applicable to my employees (E),
other to freelancers (F), and some to both groups (EF).

Is there a way to 'mark' text parts as being 'E', 'F' or 'EF', in order to create two final output documents:
* the first (E) with all the procedures for the employees,
* the scond with only the procedures for freelancers?

Thanks you for your answer.

Create three paragraph Styles for the three sets (E, F, EF). The appearance of all of these should be the same. I would make the E and F sets based on the EF Style. That way changing the EF Style's formatting should change the other two.

When you want to print an E document, modify the F Style so that it has the font formatting of "Hidden." When you want to print an F document, modify the E Style so that it is "Hidden."

You are welcome. You may want to document what has been done, possibly with a page at the end that is also all marked as hidden text.

If you have display of non-printing formatting characters turned on, you will see the hidden text on the screen but it will not print nor will it take up space in the printed document. Showing non-printing formatting marks in Microsoft Word
