This might be a bit confusing so bear with me. I am aware that you can use VBA to transfer excel information into a Word Document, but looking for more advanced formatting.
I am looking to do the following:
  1. When someone selects an ActiveX Checkbox in my spreadsheet for "E-Commerce Overview," I would like the content shown in the image below to populate in the Word Template I specify.
  2. I would need to be certain that formatting in Word will relay "E-Commerce Overview" as a Title, "Value Proposition" as Heading 1, and that the [CUSTOMER NAME] pulls from the excel sheet and populates into the Word Doc.
  3. This formatting is important because we are using a table of contents at the start of the Word Document.
I am not necessarily asking for someone to write the code for me, but I just want to know this is possible before diving into the rabbit hole.

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Hi noslenwerd and Welcome to the Board! It is possible. It seems that U will need to develop a Word template with bookmarks for insertion of data from XL. HTH. Dave

Thanks for the welcome! I have a good general understanding of how to use bookmarks via word templates, but where I am stuck is:

  1. How can I use ActiveX checkboxes in excel to dictate what information shows in Excel?
  2. Is there a way to "hide" information in Word that is only revelaed when that checkbox is selected?
Essentially this is a call recap document that will only show information discussed on the call. For instance:

I fill out the excel sheet, click the checkbox for "Topic 1, Topic 3", and only those two topics populate into the Word Doc.

U will still need to read the forum(s) guidelines and post links to other sites that U have posted at as per the general netiquette that I suggested at that other site. Dave

Thanks Dave... Looks like I am unable to edit my first post, so here is the link to where I posted on another forum.

Thanks for addressing the forum guidelines for both forums. Maybe a template document containing bookmarks (or other holders/locations) to insert your chosen topics wouldn't be the best. If you were to create a Word document and then place the contents of each topic within some defined area (ie. between bookmarks for eg.) you could then set a range to whatever topic U are interested in and then copy and paste the range/topic to a new document. So, U would select your checkboxes in XL, then via VBA open the Word document with all of your stored topics, copy the ranges (ie. topics) as checkbox indicated, open a new document and paste them into it. Seems like it would work. HTH. Dave

You still haven't provided all your cross-post links - here or anywhere else. Until you do, don't expect help on any forum.
