Default Link/Autofill Form Fields in MS Template

If we assume that your dropdown list writes the choice to bookmark Dropdown1
then provided you have checked the calculate on exit checkbox of that field,
you can reproduce whatever you want wherever you want by means of
conditional fields, eg

{ IF { REF Dropdown1 } = "A" "Dropdown is A" "Dropdown is not A"}

{ IF { REF Dropdown1 } = "B" "Dropdown is B" "Dropdown is not B"}

etc

I have a simple MS Word template created in Office 2003 that I have
added drop down menu boxes to certain fields. By making a specific
selection in these dropdown menus can I trigger a specific
autofill/completion of a separate cell in a table? Does it require a
macro or can I just use the Autotext feature? Basically I'm trying to
get something akin to a IF 'A' is selected THEN 'B' is filled in a
different cell or field.

Thanks for any help and if there is another forum that can give advice
I'll take it too.
