Default Using Drop Down List to Autofill


Hello there,

I need to send a word doc with the same structure to multiple
counterparts. I want to create a drop down list so that when I select
the name, the address, telephone and email details all autofill. I
would also like other parts of the document further down to autofill
based on the name selection.

Is this possible, and if so, how?

Many thanks,
Paul
