Questions Re: Word Docs using Adobe Sign drop downs to populate text areas.

I am a newbie to Adobe Sign and am expecting some requests to update an existing order form template. The template is a Word doc.

The requests most likely will result in two things.

  1. We'll need to alternate the terms and conditions text based on what is selected in a drop down. The text should be presented as standard text with no drop down or text box. Is this possible to do with a standard Word IF statement? Or will I need to use Adobe Sign tags?
    2. Based on the same dropdown as above the prices will need to be different. 

    How do I make this dynamic in Sign?

    Scenario: 

    Dropdown: Standard Contract or Evergreen Contract
    IF Standard Contract > Display Standard Terms & Conditions > calculate "Standard" prices when products selected (product dropdowns and standard prices already exist in the template). 

    IF Evergreen Contract > Display Evergreen Terms & Conditions > calculate "Evergreen" discounted rates.

the calcualtions are doable, as Signcan do both calcs and if statement using calc fields. 

 

Display alternative text is more difficult as Sign forms re not that dynamic, You can hide and show, but when hidden the hidden field still takes up room. Anyways if the text is about a paragraph you may get away with it, but longer than that it becomes messy.

This is great to know. Thank  you! 

For the calcs and the alt text, are there any knowledge base articles I can use as a starting point?
