Hello everyone,

I have a word document which contains many chapters. I would like from this document, via a userform with the list of chapters to tick, to create a new document document with only the ticked chapters and its content.

    You need to mark the items you want in the new document. The simplest method, IMO, would be a FileNew macro in your template that triggers the userform when you create a new document based on the template. Then delete the areas not checked in the document.

    Otherwise, consider saving these as AutoText or another Building Block and inserting those.
