Expanding tables with calculating form fields?

[Father]

Sweet. Thank you.
Before I dive into those links/tutorials...

I was using Legacy Forms controls.
I just replaced a lot of the drop downs and text fields with the current versions.
I didn't do that with the fields that have the calculations. I'm wondering, before I start messing with it any further, is there a way to have conditions so that if I select something from a drop-down menu, it'll populate other fields.

Here is the form I'm referring to
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9...zUtenBveEZoNE0
The form is protected but there's no password (just leave it blank).



Right now I have it set up where I put the numbers in manually and it calculates the totals.
What I'd like to do is be able to select something from the drop-downs under Nomenclature and have it populate the Item N.E.W. field with a number. Then when I put in QTY, it'll calculate the TOTAL N.E.W.
Is that possible? Or am I asking too much of Word and should be doing this in something more dynamic like Acrobat? I did try this once as an Adobe form, but there are other pages that have functions that I don't think Acrobat offers like inserting photos.

I'm assuming the expanding tables option isn't possible, but ideally, I'd only like to have rows when I need them and not have a bunch of empties (clutter).

I've already provided you with a link for that.
