Default Word document with text depending on drop down list option

Hi all and thanks in advance for your time.



I'm looking to create a word document that populates a different text according to the option selected on the drop down list.

Is there an easy way to do this? I've been reading and watching videos but I can't get my head around how the to use bookmarks and the IF function in word.

Thank you all.

MC.

Before we can give specific advise, we'd need to know what kind of dropdown you're using:
• in a userform
• content control
• formfield
• ActiveX

and, for different elements from a selected item to be output to different content controls, see:
