Thank you for the quick replies Paul and Graham. I am new to using the developer tab in Word and did not realize it would be an issue to do it the way I did. I'm glad you told me this. I will try to take a different route for creating my form. I tried doing the DocVariable Field thing from Graham's link, but I wasn't able to get it to work.
What would be the best way to create a form like this and not run into any of the problems mentioned by Paul? It does not have to be through Word.

If anyone has any samples of a form with hidden text dependent on selections, it would be very helpful to see. Please share if you have one.. thanks!!
