Default Linking large paragraph text fields to a drop down field

Hi all,



I'm trying to make a template for a cover letter in which a selection of drop down field determines which pre-written paragraph is displayed later in the document.

For example, if I choose "event coordination" as the skill option from the drop down menu, a paragraph talking about experience in event coordination would populate a text field.

I'm not very experienced in macros or VBA, but any and all information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Would AutoCorrect provide a simpler solution?

So eg you type 'evco' and Word fills in the Event Coordination text.
