Default Help with populating text when a checkbox is selected

I have created a word document that I use as a guide in clinics for physical exams. I would like that when the "N" (normal) box is checked that all the normal findings appear in sentence/paragraph form in the textbox adjacent. Can someone please tell me where to begin--visual basic? macro?

Or is this out of my pay grade?

Thank you for your advice,
Ryan

Since you're presumably using formfields, I'd suggest using a dropdown formfield with Yes/No options, which allows you to use field coding for the conditional output. For a demonstration, see: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...html#post46429. With checkboxes, macros would be required.
