You can do this with an IF field in the document.

{IF {REF Bookmark1 \*lower} = "hello" "It was found" "Not found"}

The \*lower switch is optional but caters for such entries as "Hello" and
"HELLO" as well as "hello"
In a REF field the REF bit is also optional, but I like to include it for
the sake of clarity.
thus
{IF {Bookmark1} = "hello" "It was found" "Not found"}
would probably suffice.

Note the {} indicate fields and are inserted with CTRL+F9.

If you want to use large insertions then you can use INCLUDETEXT fields or
AUTOTEXT fields eg

{IF {REF Bookmark1 \*lower} = "hello" "{INCLUDETEXT
"C:\\path\\filename.doc"}" "{AUTOTEXT "autotextname"}"}

Hello. I'm very new at Word programming. I am a .NET programmer
trying to figure some stuff out in Word. Here is basically what I
want to do:

I have a bookmark in a doc and I want to do something like this:

If [bookmark1] = "hello" Then
INCLUDETEXT = "It was found"
Else
INCLUDETEXT = "Not found"
End If

I know that is NOT how it is coded, but I need help getting started
on this.

Thanks!
