Question Form auto insert

I am trying to create a form which can be auto filled in.



I want to have a list of titles each with a checkbox in column A, when the check box is selected a word file needs to be insterted in column B.

For Example
Model 1 Selected insert file with specification for model 1

Final document should only have specifications for the items selected.

Have tried book mark function, I am able to insert specification if I use insert file. The person filling in the form should only select the checkboxes required.

Yes certainly stuck

Who will be filling in this form? People in your own organization with access to the documents on your server or shared folder?
How large are these documents? Are they just plain text or are they documents with formatting and maybe graphics? How many of them are there?
Do you have a Word doc that inserts files based on checkboxes to look at? If not, why checkboxes?... Are you thinking you can insert multiple files if multiple boxes are checked?
Do you have any experience as a programmer?

In answer to your post Kimberly

Our staff will fill in the form ,all documents including inserts will be on the server.

The check box was my idea for completing the form
In simple terms the master document is a word file containing a table the files to be inserted are plain text paragraphs no more than 500 words

An Example would be

Towing a Trailer [ ] ( select trailer)

This would insert a file in table column 2 named "trailer.doc"

Inserted paragraph would read....

" When using a trailer it is important that the weight of the load is known and the load is secure and will not move during transport..............

My only experience of programming is machine logic programs.
