Using check boxes to make certain data in a document show up

[Scott]

A little background. Our finance department has a huge document that need to
be signed by vendors. Within the document there is certain verbage that
pertains to the vendoor and there is certain verbage that does not pertain to
the vendor The finance guys would like to be able to add some sort of macro
to the document so that only the verbage that pertains to that vendor is
displayed.

My two ideas were to put check boxes at the top of the document that include
the title of the sections (similar to a table of contents) and if they are
checked they will show and if there are not checked then they will not. The
other idea was to have a check box right next to the section itself and when
checked that item will show and when it is not checked then the item will not
show.

I've searched high and low and it's hard to find this specific answer. I am
not a pro at writing VBA code so I'm not sure where to begin. I figure I can
use a check box form once I've created the macro and then it will run it, but
I'm not sure how to begin with the macro. Any help would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott
