Hello all,

I am working on creating a document that has a table at the beginning with several columns. The second column will be item numbers and the third column will be item descriptions. This table will have a varying number of rows, but the format of each row will be identical. The document will have subsequent tables that the user will add as needed. In each of these subsequent tables the third row will have two cells - the first has a dropdown for item number and the second will be the corresponding description from the 1st table. I would like the dropdown list, titled "Item#", to be populated by the entries in the second column of the first table, and if possible, I would like the corresponding item description to be copied from the 1st table and pasted in the second cell of that row. I had all of this worked out using Excel dropdowns and Word userforms, but the powers that be have restricted me from using the userforms in this version of the document.

I know it's asking a lot, but any help you can give would be appreciated greatly.
