Question

Hi&nbsp;I have a document that is being used for audit purposes, however, certain sections are only applicable to specific departments.&nbsp; &nbsp;This results in things being done unnecessarily or not at all.&nbsp;I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for adapting my document so that I can choose what department is being audited, so the document only includes the relevant questions/sections.&nbsp;I don't really want to split the document up because when things are amended things, I am sure will be missed.&nbsp;Any help would be gratefully received.&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;Keith&nbsp;&nbsp;

Keith Farmery&nbsp;There are probably a number of ways to do this. As far as I can tell they all involve macros.&nbsp;Probably the most elegant would be to use a UserForm (a custom dialog box) where the involved department is picked from a drop-down or checkboxes. Then the code could call up parts that are stored as AutoText and insert them in the document in the appropriate location.Create a Simple UserForm by Word MVP Graham MayorSave content as AutoTextUsing vba to insert AutoText or Building BlocksCreate Reusable Text Snippets
