Hello -- I would like to create a word template that does several things:
1) bring up a text box or text entry to enter certain key words such as a product name and document number and type of document (type 1, 2, 3, 4...etc)

2) based on the type of document only certain text (with specific formatting) is imported into the document

3) product names, document numbers and key words will be inserted into the document (i assume using linked(cross referenced) bookmarks or something like that)

I have very little knowledge of how to do this and i do not expect anyone to sit down and do this project for me. so help and guidance and pointing in the right direction is going to be great!

thank you
chris

PS. the best solution starts being discussed towards the end of the thread.
