As an alternative method, consider saving your text as building blocks and using a Building Blocks Gallery Content Control. This would not require macros (vba) but would require that the user have access to the template that holds the building blocks.

I did have a brief look at building blocks. Do you know how I'd set it up to be able to link to the dropdown selections?

Take a look at the Building Blocks Gallery Content Control. It is a dropdown of your building blocks.

Thanks, I don't think I explained it very well though. I'd like a dropdown list of headings, that when clicked, populate separate paragraphs of chosen text further on in the word document

I'm just not sure how to link it all together

OK
You definitely want something other than the BBG Content Control.
Someone likely will help.


If it were me, I think I would use a UserForm rather than a drop-down in the document.
