Referencing data in a Drop down box

This should be easy, but I've been at it for a while and thought maybe someone could help. (Besides I'm an embedded guy!)  I'm making a Word template for a friend and am a bit rusty in VB.  The document has several statements that have a drop down box in them....ie
       The car (was/was not) blue.
(was/ was not are the choices in the drop down).  I want to have a macro that will make the entire statement bold if the second option (in this example 'was not') is selected.  I don't need help with making it bold, what I need to know is how to reference the value in the drop-down box in VB.  The code that I have is this:

*******************************
Sub Bold1()
'
' Bold1 Macro
' Macro created 6/17/2002 by Shawn Dickens
'
Set vSel = ActiveDocument.FormFields("DropDown1").
   If (vSel = "were not") Then
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine
    Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
    Selection.Font.Bold = wdToggle
    Selection.Font.Underline = wdUnderlineSingle
    End If
***************************
If anyone could tell me what to set vSel equal to, I'd really apprecitate it...(Dropdown1 is what that the Bookmark is in the Drop-Down Field Options window in Word)  I'm not sure if it even belongs there.
