Template creation questions

[Nadihaha]

I am trying to create a policy for work. We are currently running Word 2003.

I have currently managed to make a drop down box so that the users can
select different types of policies, I am hoping to make it so that depending
on the type they pick it auto populates a field saying who needs to approve
it.

Also on my wish list is I have a question as to whether the policy needs to
be posted on the website. I would like that if they pick yes a table appears
stating who needs to approve the posting, who did the posting and when.

Is any of this possible? I hope I'm making sense! from what I can gather I
should be using visual basic but I haven't the foggiest idea how to use it or
where to start

What are you designing the templates in? Access/Excel/Word?

trying to downsize costs.
