I'm creating a rather elaborate form template for my office. I was wondering if there's a way to create a blank fillable text field depending on a dropdown selection.

So by default, there's one blank field that can be filled in to reference one person. But there's a dropdown that can be selected to include two, three, or four other individuals and I'd like MS Word to create another two, three or four blank text fields depending on the number of individuals selected to be placed in the document...

Essentially what I'm trying to do is this: {IF {REF Dropdown1} = something {FORMTEXT}}

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and I think I might need to use a Macro. Not sure what to do here to get the effect I'm looking for.

If you understand what I'm trying to do I'd really appreciate some assistance.

Thanks!
