Pulling info from Access

[Becky]

I have several drop-down fields in Word. My goal is to
pick one option in the drop-down list and have it pull a
paragraph from Access.
Is there any way to associate a key word in a Word drop-
down list to a corresponding paragraph in access?

Becky,

You would need to do it with VBA. You could assign an exit macro to the
dropdown and use the macro to extract the required data from your database
and insert it into your document.

Regards,
Chad

Chad,
That is what I was afraid of. Thanks for the info.
