My team currently uses Word as our primary app for technical documentation. We have documents that are unique to specific audiences, but because Word does not have conditional text options, we have had to create separate documents for each audience. Internet forums discuss using font/color and searching for/hiding this text to create a conditional text effect, but this does not seem ideal, and users have reporting problems with pagination. I’ve found a few plug ins that supposedly create conditional text in Word, but I’m not convinced we want to spend the money on one (it’s close to $200/license).
Does anyone have suggestions for creating conditional text in Word, or has anyone used one of these plug ins?
