Where I work there are several ways of doing things to get the same results with VB and Word through VBA and macros. We create/edit many documents from templates for clients which are very similar to each other but they all have their differences.

Some programmers have many folders with the same documents in each folder and make the changes to each document as needed but this can get pretty monotonous. Others have If statements in one document and pass docvariables to the document....there can be about 50 If statements at a time so it can get hairy. Both methods, however, use docvariables.

Each method appears to have its pros and cons. I'm new here and also to using WORD macros but am very familiar with VBA and VB.

Does anybody have any experience with anything like this where they have a process that works sufficiently?

Thanks much.
