Delete pages using a check box in a document
I have a Word document and I need to have a way to make it interactive so that it deletes pages depending on a response.
As an example, if the user checks a box (call it box 2) t will then print out page 2 if you tick another box it will print out page 3 and so on. We can't do it via Macros. IS there a way you can use a Form to produce the response? Any work arounds would be appreciated. |

It will have to be done using macros, but see Word Doesn't Know What a Page Is by Daiya Mitchell, MVP.
Also look at Moving/Reorganizing Pages in Microsoft Word. You need to mark the area in some way. Page does not cut it. See also Create & Employ a Userform by Greg Maxey |

I would be looking at making a dynamic form as a PDF rather than trying to do this with Word docx.
If you stay in Word there are two dodgy methods that might be workable but perhaps neither would align with your useability goals. 1. Use a Building Block Content Control to allow the user to select a chunk to add to the form. 2. Use an If field to harness the checkbox value to display or hide content. This would require a field refresh kicked off by the user to reveal or hide the content after the checkbox is changed. If you wanted to explore the #2 option the If field would look like {If checkbox = true "Here is your content to display" ""} where checkbox is a plain text Content Control mapped to the same field value as the checkbox Content Control.
