If you had said anything before about emailing the form, I would have added
more information. :-)
The AutoText entries used in the AutoTextList are stored by default in your
Normal.dot template. They can't be stored in a document, they must be in a
template. If you want to continue to use an AutoTextList, you have two
choices:
1. Store the AutoText entries in a separate template (see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...n/AutoText.htm for how to do
that). Then put that template in your Startup folder (as listed in Tools
Options File Locations; see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...latesStore.htm) so it
becomes a global template and the AutoText entries are available in all
documents. Send a copy of that template to everyone who needs to use the
form, and instruct them to put it in their Startup folder, too.
OR
2. Save your form as a template (.dot file). Then use the Organizer (Tools
Templates & Add-Ins Organizer) to move the AutoText entries into the form.
Send that template/form.
An alternative (more reliable but more complicated to create) is a userform
(

this worked great, but when I emailed it to a co-employee the
AutoTextList did not come with the document. When I right-clicked
the list that Microsoft set up pops up.

I am creating a form in WORD and I want the user to be able to pick
their address from a list of 7 addresses. I was thinking that that
would be created in a drop-down field. Please help.
