Default Auto Fill Box

I'm trying to achieve a text box that has a drop down list that would have
like 5 nursing homes on it, and when I select one, it would then show the
address of the nursing home and other information so I don't have to type it
everytime. For instance, a drop down box would have like "Miller's Merry
Manor, Oakbrook, Heritage" and whe I'd select "Oakbrook," in a certain spot
on the form, it would pull up

Oakbrook Village
714 Rocky Run
Huntington, IN 46750

Can this be done? Thanks!

You might want to use an AutoTextList field. The AutoText entry names could
be Oakbrook, Heritage, etc., and the entries could contain the entire
address. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm
