How can I make my MS Word doc modular?

[gobears96]

Hi there-

Here's my situation. I'm creating a document that
multiple people use. However, each person only needs to
read a couple different sections out of the entire
document, and some need to pull out these sections to send
to another team. Currently, they need to manually delete
the sections they don't care to read about.

In the ideal world, I would love to create a pop-up box
that allows people to enter only sections they are
interested in reading about and then the MS Word doc only
shows those sections - or even better, to create/save a
view that is relevant to each group. (similar to how
views are created in MS Project).

Any thoughts on how I can do this in MS Word?

Thanks,
Annie

Probably a hard, but direct approach would be to create a doc file, and
surround paragraphs with Bookmarks.

Then, when someone opens your MySpecialDocument(which would be blank), a
form could pop up with checkboxes that are linked to those bookmarks in
MyDataDocument.

When the user clicks "Finish, Go, COntinue, go fish", the form would go find
those bookmarks related to those checkmarks, and "import" it to your blank
document.

I could give you a rough version, if you'd like? Email me.. middae at
