Default Creating an Auto-Generated Field dependent on Drop-Down List

Hello Everyone!



I am working on a templates for my employer who wants me to make offer letters for a range of different positions and wanted to implement Drop-Down Lists and Content Controls to make it so that I can have 1 template that covers multiple positions in our company.

I have learned about Drop-Down lists (From the developer ribbon tab) and I found a file example from the user 'MacroPod', under the thread provided in the link below, which helped me immensely in understanding what I was aiming to do.

Here is the thread, and the file in which an example was provided:
https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post46903

However, I am seeking assistance from anyone in regards to the following:

I want to have a drop-down list that has a list of specific job positions, and for each job position, I want it to auto generate a job description of that same position wherever it needs to be mentioned, along with bullets, bolding, and specific text font color.

I also want to mention that I am not familiar with how to use Macros, nor did I see or understand how 'MacroPod' made it so that their drop-down list 'values' appeared on another 'Content Controlled' box, per se, from the file provided in the thread that I linked above. So if someone can explain that to me, that would be immensely helpful.

Example of what I want:

If I select, from a drop-down list, a position called 'Project Coordinator', I want it to auto generate the following:

Roles & Responsibilities
  • Inputs new customer accounts; price lists ensuring the data is up to date
  • Establishes new resources with price lists ensuring the data is up to date
  • Answers phones and responds to client as well as resource requests and inquiries.

Required Qualifications
  • Associate Degree with 3-5 years of relevant experience, or a combination of education and experience
  • Proficiency with MS Office
  • Proven ability to multitask; meticulous attention to detail


And if I select another position, I would get a similar format, but with different Roles & Responsibilities and Required Qualifications.

I would greatly appreciate the assistance and instruction anyone can provide!
