I am creating a Word Template which needs to display different sections of
the document based on the selection in a form field at the beginning of the
document. I need to minimize macro's - although I know this will require
one. I don't want to put the entire text of the required section in the macro
if there is a way to create the document and simply 'hide' the unnecessary
sections based on form field selection. Any ideas?

Use a font of Hidden text, and unhide the section you need to.

Thanks Steve, what a simple solution! I was making this far too difficult!
