Drop down text with content control

Guessed · #7 04-13-2022, 06:18 PM

I would do this by putting all the content into the one document and bookmarking the sections that need to be 'included' by the user. You then hide all the bookmarked areas. When the user selects a section, you have a macro run that sets that bookmarked range as visible.

We already have code samples on this forum for similar requirements - sometimes these use content controls instead of bookmarks if it is more suitable.

I basically have a drop down list of selections that when clicked, populate a section of text from another word document that keeps it's style and formatting.

I'm not sure I understand how you envisage the user will interact with this method. Perhaps a series of Content Control check boxes would be a reasonable interactive method and simplify the coding.
