select information to print in template

I am trying to determine if this is possible in Word 2000 and if so, figure
out which tool would best support this type of automation.
Basically I am trying to create a word template that can be used as a form
letter where the user would select particular verbiage depending on the terms
of the transaction. The letter starts and ends in basic paragraph format but
the body is separated into sections. For example:

Dear Joe Schmoe,

We are pleased to offer you the following.

Line: $<<Insert field>>

Term: << field>> months

End of Term Options: ??This is where I am lost??

Additional Conditions: ???Another spot like above???

There are many variable End of Term Options/Additional Conditions etc. The
users would like to select just one option (which can be almost a paragraph
long in some cases) and insert it into this proper space for printing as if
it had been typed. I have been looking at using Forms drop-downs, Pop-up
lists and Active X controls but seem to be going in circles. I am quite new
at VB and generally depend on recording a macro and tweeking it for specific
usage.

Any direction would be GREATLY appreciated.

Sorry so long winded.

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

Have you looked into using Autotext?

Yes Nikki,
More specifically, an autotext list.

Open Word Help, type in: display a list

choose:
Display a list of autotext entries.

Autotext can hold almost anything that Word can produce (boilerplate text
and graphics) and reinsert it again when you need it.
