Default Making text dependent on choices from a drop down box.

I am trying to create a letter that will have certain text (entire
paragraphs) appear depending on which subject is picked from a drop down box.
Is this possible? Is there an easier way to go about it. I need a form
type template that will be protected.

If you're already using a protected form, Greg's suggestion is the way to
go. If you don't want to protect the document, see
