You WILL need to use a userform for this and you should decide where you 
will store all of the entries.  I have previously gone through a method of 
doing this with a guy named Phil.  Take a look at the thread in Google at:

Also, take a look at

1.Email Body Changes based on value selected in Drop-Down List

I am trying to do something that seems rather simple, but I cannot get
it to work.  To keep it simple, I just need to proper syntax of how to
return the value selected from a drop-down.

I have a Word FormField Drop-down box with list items already
created.  A user will choose an option and then later I want to base
some actions on that option.

My List box's bookmark name is "Title"

Here is my sample code:

    If Me.FormFields("Title").Result = "Staff" Then
    MsgBox ("Staff")
    End If
    If Me.FormFields("Title").Result = "Manager" Then
    MsgBox ("Manager")
    End If

I dont think .Result is the right option. I have also
tried .DropDown.Value as well and that does not work.  Please help
asap!

3.Change text based on drop down list entry

I am trying to have text entered automatically based upon the selection made 
from a drop down list.  Here is what I have so far:

Drop down list items are: Entity A, Entity B, and Entity C
dropdown1 is bookmark name automatically assigned to my drop down list

I have a form field that has the code: 
{ IF dropdown1 = "Entity A" "A" "Not A" }

When "Entity A" is selected in the drop down list, I get "Not A" as a result 
in my form field.  I cannot seem to get "A" to be the result.

I was just wondering if any one was able to help me with this matter.  i am 
currently trying to make it so that I can have a list of options in one drop 
down list, and depending on what gets picked there, make it so that the 
options for the second drop down list correspond with the first.  If this 
does not make any sense, please tell me so, and I will try to explain more.

Thank You,
