How many different issues do you anticipate? You might consider creating a template that allows the sender to select the issue from a dropdown menu. However, if there aren’t too many variations of the issues, it might be more effective to create separate versions of the template for each issue. Using a dropdown might not be as visually appealing because aligning the text with the rest of the document can be challenging.

There are 4-5 different reasons, but the issue would need a full paragraph added. This is used for a receipt of notice to end an apartment rental agreement. For example. it could be due to the tenant ending, landlord ending no reason given, death, non-payment, violations. Each situation would have a separate opening paragraph that would need to be added. that is where a dropdown list is typically a word or few words and so that is what I am trying to figure out is how to add a specific longer paragraph into a template based on the need vs. creating separate templates (if possible).

I that case, then you could use a combination of dropdown with a short description and a conditional text that shows the paragraph on the text of the document when the sender selects one of the 4-5 different reasons. 

This is a rough sample of the setup.   You need to overlap your paragraph text and set up your condition to display the corresponding text based on the selection.
