What I want to do is to create a style such that a global variable (in the
custom template) defines some formating...namely whether font is hidden or
shown.
Variable in the doc template

I am ok with idea of an if true style x else style y but dont know how to
make a style in word that does this (without manually typing all this in).
Ie would like be able to place cursor and select style.

I am ok with two styles: a field / bookmark for hidden on....and a
fied/bookmark for hidden off

Would like to stay away from VBA on this

Hi vojo,

I can't think of any way to do this. I don't think there are any fields that
apply styles. Fields can only reference text that has a style applied. Best
that occurs to me is to use an IF field that checks the Variable and displays
text according to that property.

{ IF {DocVariable abc}="on" "Show all this text" "" }

It is possible to define Styled text within a field (by extending the
technique that Cindy shows, perhaps including AutoTexts) but in this case it
would seem to be more complicated than needed.
