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.
