Automatically inserting pre-typed paragraphs in MS Word

[Guest]

Is it possible to insert/remove pre-typed paragraphs in a template by
ticking/unticking a tick-box in Word. How do you insert a tick-box in Word
(the urgent etc tickmarks in the fax templates of Word)?

I would like to select certain standard paragraphs in a template-letter, but
the selected paragraphs would rarely change.

G'Day Pieter,

1. You can create AutoText entries that can be fully formatted
Word Paragraphs (including Tables and Graphics). Each
AutoText entry can be given an abbreviated name that suggests
its purpose.

2. These entries will normally be created in NORMAL.DOT, but
can be copied to any other Template.

3. That 'other' Template could include text that is standard. Thus
a user could create a new Contract from a 'Contract Template',
and include 'optional' clauses by inserting AutoText entries in
the appropriate places.

4. Using VBA and some Bookmarks, this process can be
automated. When a user creates a new Contract from the
'Contract Template', an Office UserForm would appear
listing all the optional clauses. By 'ticking' the required
'optional' clauses (then an 'OK' button), the appropriate
clauses would be inserted in the appropriate places.
