Using MS Word for Mac 2016 (version 15.32) but I'll take answers based on other iterations and on PC too.



I'm creating a template for legal proceedings.

I want the selection of an item in a drop-down menu to automatically generate a line of text elsewhere in the document. More specifically, I want the selection of the judicial district (on the top-left drop-down menu on the first page) to automatically generate the address of that district's courthouse (on the third page).

I also want the whole document to remain unlocked (I noticed when I add combo boxes or drop-down menus I seem to have to "protect form" to get them to function, locking down the ability to edit text anywhere besides the boxes/menus).

Not sure if a macro is necessary, but I'm a total newbie to macros.

I've attached the document and highlighted the relevant sections.

I would be deeply grateful to anyone who could give me a hand here. I've spent nearly a week trying to figure this out.
