Help on combining 4 word docs in 1

There are several ways that you could handle this. I suspect my preference would be to save the core document as a macro enabled template and all the tables as separate Autotext/Building Block entries in that template.

You could then create a simple userform with four radio buttons, the selection from which would insert the appropriate building block in the new document created from the template.

I would start with the document template having an autotext field inserted to display one of the autotext entries. It is then a simple matter to replace the field code according to the choice of option button.

The following macro will change the field. Call it from the userform e.g.

Code:

Sub ChangeAutoText(strText As String)
Dim oFld As Field
Dim oRng As Word.Range
    Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
    For Each oFld In oRng.Fields
        If oFld.Type = wdFieldAutoText Then
            oFld.Locked = False
            oFld.Code.Text = Replace(oFld.Code, oFld.Code.Text, "AUTOTEXT " & strText)
            oFld.Update
            oFld.Locked = True
            Exit For
        End If
    Next oFld
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

Thank you but it looks like this is way more complicated than i thought. I'm not sure if I'm savvy enough to create a document like this,
