Mutiple Line Dropdown Box

I have a Word document 2010, that I want to build off of as the case progress. Is there a way to get a dropdown box/option that I can put multiple lines into? What I want to do is combine 3 forms into one, but do not want everything to show right off the bat, I want to build off of the first form including the other 3 documents I have created. Example: A kid is late for school so we do an attendance plan (Phase I form), he is late again; we now have (Phase II Plan) that has more information to fill out. I don’t want to have to use another form that has the basic things in it, as to not duplicate work and kill 10 more trees. I want to use a dropdown option that I would like “Phase II” and it would have all that information comes on the form. Just using one form to combine all the items.

Sounds like you need to create a userform that contains the dropdown (comboBox) and which then inserts the appropriate plan into the document based on the selection made in the combobox.

See the following pages of Greg Maxey's website :
