I want to be able to use a checklist to build a document. It is for user requirement specification documents. Basically, I want to be able to select which sections I want in the document from a separate checklist and have the sections put in sequential order from a template that has all the possible options. So if I have all possible specs as 1-100 and the customer only need a few of them, I can choose the ones to include. I am not looking for a fillable form. Basically, I would need to show/hide different parts but keep them in the original order and automatically adjust the placement of the sections on the page so they flow naturally. Is there a way to do this with Word? I have seen suggestions to use the content builder, but that seems to be for a different purpose than what I am trying to achieve. I have considered using excel to show/hide various cells based on a checkbox, but that doesn't solve my problem of formatting.

If you create a Word template with all the potential content, and bookmark the various portions, you could employ a userform in which you would choose which portions to retain or delete. The useform would need to be configured to run each time a new document is created from the template.
