Default Conditional Text (like FRameMaker) or other Versioning strategy

Framemaker allows you to create unlimited different versions of a document by
assigning conditions to the document (like Model 1, Model 2, Model 3) and
then creating text that will only appear when that condition (ex. Model 1) is
selected.

(1) Does Word 2007 provide any similar capabilities?

(2) Is there a reliable plug-in that does this?

Or

(3) has anyone created a work-around that is NOT overly complicated or
cumbersome?

THANKS.

The short answer is no, but you may be able to cobble something together
from http://www.gmayor.com/SelectFile.htm Whether that is overly complicated
of cumbersome only you can judge.

You could create separate versions of documents - see
