Will Access help create a new Word Document based on specific crit

[Guest]

My office has a master manual in Word for clients, and depending on the
client needs, we delete portions of it to create a version that is relevant
to the client. We are looking for a way to automate this process. I am
wondering if Access is the right tool?

Ideally, when we open the Word document, we are promptd to make a
selection(s) and Word automatically generates a new file with only the
portions of the master copy that we need.

How do you suggest we develop something like this?

Thank you!

If you store the relevant portions in an Access database, you should be able
to use a Word Merge to move the data back to bookmarks in Word. The Access
database would also house each client's profile to tell a query which
portions to include. I'd have a table to hold the boilerplate text, a table
to hold client information, and a table to hold the details of which text
was included in the document.
