Default Auto populate text from a drop-down form field selection in Word

Hi,


I am trying to get text to populate based on the option selected from the drop-down form. I want to run it on a Marco since the IF expressions are not working for me.

I have about 20 different options.

Field 1: I have a drop down form field here.
Key Actions: I have a text box here and this is where i need the text to auto populate based on my selection.

If your auto-populated text does not contain paragraph marks (less than a full paragraph) then you don't need any macros to implement a solution.
