macro for selecting paragraphs for legal document

[Ashwin]

I am trying to develop a macro that asks specific questions; if the answer is
yes then it should insert a standard paragraph (or number of paragraphs) if
the answer is no then it would insert a different paragraph.

The intention is to develop a macro that asks a number of these questions
and to insert the relevant paragraphs to create the legal document.

Has anyone done anyting like this before. If so I would appreciate some
guidance.

Hi Ashwin,

You might find that a document set up as a form would be sufficient for your
needs. You might, for example, have a cover sheet on which the formfields
reside, and your standard text, plus fields for generating the boilerplate
text from the formfield answers, on the succeeding page(s). No vba would be
required for this.

Have a look here for lots of good pointers:
