For someone without programming experience, userforms can be daunting.
It is the most elegant solution to what you are trying to do, though.

A much more complex solution would not require macros. You would need ASK fields combined with IF Fields. This is more painful to use because there will be a series of ASK response boxes popping up. This is still a type of programming, but it is all done within the Word document. It does not give you a menu, it gives a series of questions. IF fields are case-sensitive in their tests. The ASK field predates Windows and is not fun.

I recommend biting the bullet and using a UserForm.
