I have a document that need to have text in it either added or deleted based
on certain criteria (i.e. A or B. If A then C or D). Some of the text is
several pages long. I was trying to use mail merge , but not having any
luck. I am not good with macro so I have not had muck luck with that either.
What I would like to have is a checklist so that as an item is selected it is
either added or removed ( whichever is eaiser. Please help.

Hi Glenn,

The best way to approach this depends on how you document is to be used. For example, you could use a Dropdown formfield, to record
the A/B decision, coupled with a formula field to evaluate the Dropdown formfield's contents and output options C/D accordingly. The
main issue you'll need to address is whether setting up part or all of the document as a form (which necessitates forms protection)
places too many restrictions on the way the document is used.
