Default New to word, tables and Forms assistance

Hi
I am hoping someone can help me, I may be going off in the totally wrong
direction so any advice would be great.

I am currently organizing a small group and trying to maintain records of
participants. I have created a document containing tables and fill in forms.
So as other staff only have to complete the fill in part each time.

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a fill in /option?? that
would automatically create a predifined "table" to fill in.

i.e Numbers of participants- a drop down menu of number 0 to 20
Then Depending on the selection would auto generate a completion section for
that number of particiapants containing information such as, name age address
etc to be filled in.

I hope this kind of makes sense.

You can have up to 25 entries in a dropdown form field. If you're not
already using form fields, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
