I thank you for the link. I am still a little fuzzy on some things though. I
don't have a lot of macro experience as I am sure you have noticed. I can get
the drop-down form field into my document, but not sure how to link the
macro. Do I create it the same as I was doing with a combo box on the VBS
side of things? Also, are the conditional fields inserted where the are in
the 5th line of the macro? Not sure where to insert those. I know you
mentioned that you could do this with insert autotext entries, which may be
better for what I am doing, but are those limited to a certain number of
characters? If not I think this would be best for me. Would I just follow
the same instructions but instead of the document links enter the auto text I
would like in the boxes?
Thank you so much for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

If I remember correctly the dropdown form fields do not work as there
is a limit to the amount of letters you can put in each dropdown box
and I need to put an entire sentence in each one. Any other options
for completing this?

Tools from the control toolbox are not really compatible with Word
forms. Use dropdown form fields from the forms toolbar. I take it
that you want to grab a different selection from the dropdown on
each of the twelve occasions it is used? If you want the same
selection use REF fields.

I have created a combo box to put in a form, but I need to use it
multiple times in the same form. When I put it in the first time it
works great, but then I hit enter and try to put the same combo box
on the second line it changes the first line information when I
choose an item from the combo box. I have 12 items in the combo box
and it is possible to need 1 or 2 of them or all twelve, so I set up
bulleted numbers 1-12 in the Word doc and would like to use the same
combo box choices for each line, but it is changing the first line
no matter which bullet 1-12 that I am on. Can someone please
help????!!!
Thank you!
