I have done some searching without success on how to do this but I am not too sure of the best search words to use as I don't really know what the name is for this type of doc.

In Word (office 2000) i want to set up a kind of template.
I have seen this type of thing years ago where I previously worked.

On the screen would be a big grey box. At the top there would be a space to type in something like a reference number / name of customer and then below that would be a list of standard paragraphs by name only, lets call them
paragraph 1
paragraph 2
paragraph 3
paragraph 4
paragraph 5
paragraph 6
paragraph 7
and so on.

each of these would have a radio button next to it. you would then click on the radio button for each paragraph you want in the final doc.
You would then click on a button at the bottom called Compile or Next or Create or something similar and it would produce a word doc with the heading / ref at the top and the relavant paragraphs in full.
The full wording of the paragraphs is obviously held in the backgound somewhere and the template goes and gets the wordings from that place.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can find some decent idiot proof guide on how to set this kind of thing up.

Thanks
