Default Autofill a form which is contingent on a dropdown selection.

Good day,
I'm trying to make a form that will automatically fill in a list of names depending on the selection of a preceeding dropdown item. For example, I choose option one in the dropdown. Bam, I have a list of names relevant to the dropdown selection. Then I select option 2 on the same dropdown. Now I have a different list of names relevant to selection 2.



I have zero experience with creating macros in word. Any advise would be great. Thanks.

List of names as in:
1) another drop-down list, or
2) a list that is part of your text?

If (2) then an IF field based on the drop-down result would work.

Thank you for your response! I realized that there were other threads only after I had posted this. I should have checked better before. Sorry.
