Word 2003 - Form with Dropdown Box - Using Send to Recipient
Hi there --
I created a form using Word 2003 and saved it as .dot. In one of the fields I inserted a dropdown box. When I send the completed form, it does not show the selection from the dropdown. What do you think? Thanks! |

Word 2003 - Form with Dropdown Box - Using Send to Recipient
Did you protect the template before saving it?
Are the recipients aware that templates are used to create new documents? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org memcneely wrote: Hi there -- I created a form using Word 2003 and saved it as .dot.

Word 2003 - Form with Dropdown Box - Using Send to Recipient
Hi Graham --
I unprotected and protected the template several times trying to fix it. Not sure if when I initially saved it if it was protected (does this matter). I am the only one utilizing the template right now until I can get the dropdown to appear in the email. I have the template saved and create new documents from it. The dropdown selection disappears when I do a send to mail recipient. Thanks for your help. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Did you protect the template before saving it?

If you are trying to send the document as the body of an e-mail then that is
not going to work. You must send the form as an attachment. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org memcneely wrote: Hi Graham -- I unprotected and protected the template several times trying to fix it.

Word 2003 - Form with Dropdown Box - Using Send to Recipient
Thanks for the info, Graham. I will change it to a text form field since I
need it to appear in the body. Have a great day! "Graham Mayor" wrote: If you are trying to send the document as the body of an e-mail then that is not going to work.

Word 2003 - Form with Dropdown Box - Using Send to Recipient
Frankly I don't see that working either. You have no control whatsoever over
how an e-mail is opened by the recipient. Protected forms are not compatible with e-mail formats. If you want a working form it is going to have to be an attachment. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org memcneely wrote: Thanks for the info, Graham.
