Default Creating a form to have all fields populate same criteria

Word 2003/XP

User would like to create form with a drop-down box that reads "his" "hers".
When you click on the drop-down box that text will populate in other areas
throughout the form at the same time.

I don't know if there is an easier way of getting her to do what she needs.

Thank you in advance.

You can do that with REF fields. See:

Your user might want to download the gender toolbar add-in from
http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm. This gives a toolbar which will
insert variable fields and allow the user to change the gender.
