Forms in Word 2003 - drop down fields

[true blue]

I am creating a form and require more than one drop down selection that are
each a full sentence or paragraph long not just a few words, is this possible
or alternatively can I create a macro, somehow, that would drop that
paragraph in once the person chooses option 1 for example?

Hi true blue,

No need for a macro, simply insert IF fields into the body of the document for each Dropdown option. Such a field would be coded
along the lines of:
{IF{REF Dropdown1}= "Option 1" "As much text as you need, including paragraph breaks for this option"}
{IF{REF Dropdown1}= "Option 2" "As much text as you need, including paragraph breaks for this option"}
etc
where 'Dropdown1' is the Dropdown formfield's bookmark name and 'Option 1', 'Option 2' etc are the names of the dropdown options.

Make sure the Dropdown formfield's 'calculate on exit' property is checked.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above examples are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message.
