Default Insert formatted content into a word template from another location

Greetings All,

I have a question, and I feel the VBA section is the best place - if not, please let me know!

I'm creating a word template, and under each section, I'd like to create a drop down menu of options, in which selected, automatically populates with data (already formatted).

For instance - say the section is "Introduction" However, the introduction is not the same for each client, so I want my colleagues to have options to choose a specific client that, when chose, auto populates a paragraph of content relative to the client chosen.

How can I do something like this? Is it possible? Can it pull the content from another word doc? Pretty much new to VBA here, so please keep it pretty layman. The goal here is to streamline making proposals in a template for my office. Any information would be most appreciated! Or direction to another thread that answers this.

Depending on what you're after, you might be able to achieve what you want via a combination of custom Quick Parts and AutoTexts, preferably in a series of templates - one for each kind of documentor, perhaps, for each client. No vba required.
