Delete linked paragraphs simultaneously in Word?

Guessed · #1 01-26-2022, 04:20 PM

Tag the product specific sections by putting them in Rich Text (or plain text) Content Controls. Use either the Title or Tag properties for each of these CCs to show what product the section relates to.

Then you can use a macro to quickly show/hide or permanently remove the CCs chosen as not relevant. A basic example of this is shown below

Code:

Sub ShowMe()
  Dim aCC As ContentControl
  For Each aCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls
    If aCC.Title = "A" Then
      aCC.Range.Font.Hidden = False
    Else
      aCC.Range.Font.Hidden = True
    End If
  Next aCC
End Sub
