Default Autofill a field based on drop down list selection

Is there a way to auto fill in fields based on the selection of a drop down list?




I'll try to explain:


Page one - a drop down list with 5 possible selections


Page two - a paragraph with a "blank field" which auto fills the chosen selection in the drop down list on page one


I'm not a Word expert so apologies if any terminology isn't quite correct.


Thanks in advance.

Very interesting, thank you very much for your time. I'll have a play around with those files.
