Hi all,
Firstly thank you for your assistance. I have a specification document that is used as a master doc. ie It contains pretty much all the different sections that we may require in a Project Specification. What I want to do is create a template, that when it is opened there is a check box to select which sections are to include in the new document, which can then be modified for specific project requirements. Example: Contents Page: Section 1: Preliminaries Section 2: Introduction Section 3: heat exchangers Section 4: Pumps Section 5: Cooling Towers . . Section 87: Gas Monitoring I want a base document with Sections 1, 2, 4 , 23-32,........ I am thinking that it will be some form of mail merge, but not sure. Thanks Ahron |

If I was doing this I would create a userform with a pair of multi-select list boxes - see http://www.gmayor.com/Boiler.htm.
The selected items could then be used to populate the document by inserting bookmarked ranges from the source document. In fact you could save each of the 87 sections as a separate document and use the aforementioned add-in to assemble them in a document.

I agree completely with Graham. I am writing to urge you to use the term "source document" rather than "master document." "Master Document" is Word jargon for a poorly functioning method of breaking a large document into pieces. If you use that term for what you are doing you will find confusing references.

Hi all,
I would like to do a similar task as above and as outlined by gmayor (Insert a selection of documents.), but modify it and/or extend ot to macOS. Any ideas/tips/source code resources? |
