Default Multiple values in different areas upon a single drop down selection.

Hi, my first post. Thanks to all for the effort.

I am making a template to analyze the legal position of potential clients facing residential evictions. I found this forum and thread because I wanted to be able to embed in my analysis document a drop down list from which to choose the type of eviction at hand. I want that selection to then generate for me the legal notes I have related to that type of eviction. The solutions posted here totally work and I am very happy with it. But now I am wondering if I could do more.

What I would like is to still have a single drop down to select eviction type, but I would like multiple output boxes with multiple values attached to the eviction selection. Specifically I want to be able to select the [eviction type] and see in one part of the document the {legal notes and elements} for that eviction type and then in another box the {notice requirements} for that eviction type.

I am pretty sure that this type of functionality could be created but I wonder if this solution is not the right way to achieve it. I have seen some documents that draw from spreadsheets. Maybe a spreadsheet would be the better way to define the various values that come with the eviction type selection.

If this method is ideal how would I go about defining the additional values? If there is a better way i'd appreciate any input. One of the hardest parts about being a novice with these tools is not knowing how to ask the right questions.
