Having paragraphs appear or disappear - possible?

B

I have a 13 page checklist in word (with form field checkboxes). The
checklist are in sections by subject matter. Users are currently printing
out all 13 pages, but we are finding there are some subject matters that may
not apply to them so we're really waisting a lot of paper when they only need
4 out of the 13 subjects or checklist.

Is there a way to include at the top of the page buttons or checks or
something they can click to select the subject matters they need and when so
clicking it will insert the text? Or we could have all 13 subjects, but
UNCHECK those that do not apply and the text would disappear and move all the
text up to fit on the least amount of pages?

Not sure the best way to approach this? I don't know much programming - is
there a function in Word that I can study to attempt this?
