Answer 1

Use DOCVARIABLE fields

You could have the text that you may want to delete in a document variable so that it appeared in such a field, and if you want it to be deleted, use code to set the value of the variable to a single space.  

See the following pages of Greg Maxey's website :

Hi Robbins

Thank you so much for these website.  It really looks what i want. I haven't try it yet.

However, i have 2 questions: 

1.  This guide does not have the information about how to delete the paragraph from template. 

example:  User will select something which needs to reflect on document as such related paragraph will delete from user end document.

2. what about merge field instead of docvariable field. can we use and how?

I will appreciate if you provide me something more information about it

Thank you
