I am created a form and need to create paragraphs where the user will pick
her /his choice.

Create autotext entries for each paragraph is probably the best thing to do
and then use

' Macro created 15-11-97 by Doug Robbins to add the address corresponding to
a drop down name

'

Dim Para as String, Paratext as string

Set myDrop = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Dropdown1").DropDown

Para = myDrop.ListEntries(myDrop.Value).Name

Paratext = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries(Para).Value

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result = Paratext

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.
