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'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.

That would be perfect, I think check boxes would work better aswell as there will be multiple selections, so they could choose say Option A, Option D and Option F. Then sections of text populates for each selection.

I don't suppose you could point me in the right direction of suitable code for that please? It's abit of a minefield trying to find something that will work
