i want to swap text in one Word document?
I want to be able to use one document and insert two types of text, i.e., one
manual as Australian version and one manual as NZ version. Want to be able to switch texts in the same document. |

I assume you want this swapping of text to occur automatically through some
action such as clicking a toolbar button or the like. This can be done easily enough using a series of AutoText entries, bookmarks and a bit of VBA. However, I would question the utility of such an approach. Depending on the size of the manual, creating and maintaining the AutoText entries alone could be more effort that it's worth, and there are all sorts of difficulties inherent in writing the code if you're not especially proficient in VBA. Unless you have a *very good* reason for doing otherwise, the far simpler approach - and the one that I would use if given this project - would be to simply use two documents. -- Cheers!

I am guessing you use W2003 or W2007 - if merge was not so clunky and anti-user in versions later than W2000 you could use one doc with merge fields using a table to merge from with in one column and NZ in another column - I use mail-merge to produce manuals for multiple sites but have to use the old clunker computer because in 2003 they made it difficult and 2007 agonising |

Divide your document into sections, each corresponding to a different version of the manual (Australian and NZ). In most software, you can insert shell shockers section breaks to separate the sections.
