Hi All,


Found this site (and this thread) trying to google my issue. The attachment in the second post is exactly what I need my word doc to do, however I have no idea how to edit it properly.



I've created a Drop Down List (content control) with 24 options. Once a user selects one option, I want it to populate a lengthy paragraph right below. I found some tutorials that said to create the resulting paragraphs in AutoText/Building Blocks Organizer, which I've done (there's 24 results). But now I just need to know how to connect the two. I understand that this link says it's VBA but as someone who is familiar with Word but not "code" I need some help.

Lastly, if I keep the results using Building Blocks Organizer, I want to make sure that if I send this doc to someone else, that they'll be able to populate the same list/results on their computer (wasn't sure if this was coded to a specific computer).

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks!

You didn't mention this in your other thread. That will only work if you send them the template the Building Blocks were added to.
