Thank you so much for your help, excel gurus.

How can I pull data from one cell into the middle of a paragraph of text within another cell?

Example:

Cell A1 = Dog Cell A2 = The [A1 value] is a golden retriever.

Bonus Question: In cell A2, how can I have a drop down menu that allows me to select from various "stock" paragraphs with similar placeholders for data (like the A1 placeholder in the example above)
