Can Microsoft add conditional formatting to tables in Microsoft Word?

Question

After a ton of reading, it appears conditional formatting in a word document doesn't really exist.

I want to be able to create a table that has drop down menus and will automatically fill the cell based off the selected value from the drop down without using macros.

I figured out how to add drop downs to table cells. But it appears that automatically filling the cell with a selected color is impossible. It is possible on Excel. But not word. Can this feature please be added to word? I'm trying to create a form template for my team members and would like their use of this template to be as easy as possible.
