Is it one macro that is executed when the selection changes or are there multiple macros and you want to determine which to call/run based on what's been selected?

How do I determine what the control number is? Do I place the code in a regular module

I'd like to run a macro based on the selection from a control content drop down list. Is this possible.<br />
<br />
If not, how do I copy the content to another cell, and maybe run the macro based on the new cell value.

Run Macro from Content Control Drop Down List in Microsoft Word

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
