Drop down lists from external master list

[Skyfawn]

Hi.


I'm a personal trainer with limited experience of MS Word and have been using this to manually create session plans for clients but I would like to go completely paperless

My issue is that I would require something along the lines of a double drop down list that I could use multiple times throughout a word document that I could update externally should I require to add more exercises.

So it would ideally work like this,
the session plan would be a table with the first column being for exercises, these would contain a drop down list containing body parts i.e. "Legs" "Chest" "Shoulder" etc. leading to a second drop down list that would show the exercises for the option chosen in the first drop down list.


Any advice anyone could give me on the feasibility of this would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone is able to offer.

What you want to do is quite straightforward using content controls - see https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...-dropdown.html which should get you started and while this example is not quite what you are planning, the principles involved are similar.
