text field vice another dropdown) but it should be you started:

I'm trying to produce a document in WORD 03 that will allow a user to
select
items from dropdowns in a list of contents that will then populate text
boxes
in other areas of the document with information relevant to the selection
made in the dropdown e.g. if the user selects apples from the drop down
the
description will automatically be populated with, say "fresh and crunchy,
ideal for snacks' and the colour will populate with 'red'. If the user
selects pears different descriptions and colour would be used.
It would also be preferable for the dropdown and text box to be removed if
no selection is made in order that no gaps are left in the body of the
document.
Ideas for macro's gratefully recieved as programing is not a strong point.
