Post Needing to learn dependent drop downs and how to still keep the document editable


Hi everyone!

So I'm new to learning how to do dependent drop downs in word and I've read a lot of different articles and threads on here, but I can't quite find the info I need.

I have a medical form in Word that my company has to fill out every time there is an incident. This form includes patient info, doctor info, drug info, and then a short description of what happened. The patient and doctor sections can be just copy-paste and the drug section is where I need the help.

I need a drop down for Drug name, strength, dosage, and route (orally, subcutaneous, etc). When I select one drug name, I need the strength, dosage, and route lists to auto-update to match that drug. I know I can use the legacy drop down lists but to make those work, I have to lock the form from editing which means that people can't free hand where needed so I think I need to use combo box or drop down list content controls.

Is there anyone that can help me with this please?
