Question Need help populating dropdown box

Hello,



I am trying to create a two columned table in Word with at least 20 rows.

Problem #1: In the first column I want there to be a dropdown box that allows the user to select from one of the many Heading styles used in the document. These headings each represent a requirement. How can I do this?

Problem #2: Once a heading is selected, I would like for the corresponding row in column 2 to be populated with the text from the selected heading. Can this be done?

Ex.

(heading in drop down) 1.0 Testing
This is a test 1...2...3....(text automatically displays once 1.0 is selected)

I would appreciate any help! I am truly stummped.

It's not clear from your post whether you're using a userform, or if you simply want an in-document dropdown list. Please clarify.
