Default Populate multiple fields with one pull-down menu

I'm trying to create a form where I can choose a name and have corresponding phone number and e-mail address fields be populated. I'd like to be able to edit the database by simply entering new information. I know I can do this with Access. Unfortunately, my version of Office (2003) doesn't include Access.

Is there a way to link an Excel spreadsheet and accomplish the same goal? I actually don't even mind if I need to populate a database within Word one entry at a time.

Tried of search for this topic and couldn't find it. I can't help but suspect that this has come up before. So I'll apologize in advance for my surely-less-than-thorough search. Thanks.
