Pick chapters to create a full document
Hi,
I'm looking for the possibility to create an entire document by choosing different chapters from af word document. Ex.: I build custommade machines, but all the parts are standard and have their own user manuals. When I've put the machine together of 25 parts I would like exactly these 25 chapters to be in the user manual. But I don't want to use copy/paste our other diificult stuff. I would like some kind of function where I pick boxes for these 25 chapters and then the user manual is beeing created of these chapters. Perhaps it could be that I have a "master manual" with 150 chapters and I only use 25 of them for exactly this machine. The next machine I use 18 other chapters. Or perhaps something else. I can't seem to find this function. Does it exist in Word? |

Pick chapters to create a full document
The manual method for doing this is:
- In the "master" document, insert a bookmark surrounding each chapter. - In a custom manual, insert an IncludeText field pointing to the correct bookmark to include that chapter. To automate the second step, you'd need to write a macro, probably with a userform (a custom dialog) to display the check boxes for selecting chapters. Once the selections are made, the macro would insert the IncludeText fields. This isn't something that's available as a built-in feature; it would have to be written to your circumstances. A better alternative is an application meant for document assembly. Have a look at Bill Coan's DataPrompter program at http://www.wordsite.com/products/dpdas.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
