AutoText entries can't be stored in documents, only in templates. If you can
arrange to have one template that all the users can access, such as in a
network shared folder, or by creating the form in a template instead of as a
document, then the AutoTextList scheme can be made to work. Otherwise, go
with Graham's suggestion.

Jay,
Thanks for your help. I tried it and it seems to be working well on
my own computer. But when others try to use it, they don't have the
same list. They have a big default list from MS Word.
How can I get the Auto Text List to travel with the document, so any
user in my company will see it?
I am trying to create a drop down list that has about 5 options,
each with about 11 lines of text. Additionally, the last few lines
of text are indented.
can this be done, and if so, does the document have to be protected
to use the drop-down list?
I am using MS Office XP Small Business with Word 2002, although
other users with different versions will access this document.
