Default How to make Word template with selectable optional lines?


Under headers I want to offer several alternatives for user to be selected.
Text can be like this:

Header:
2 Warranty

Selectable alternatives:

A) 12 months
B) 24 month
C) 36 months

Then user selects 24 months (somehow?) and the final document looks like this:

2 Warranty

24 months

Look into AutoTextList fields and/or what Word calls an "online form." Check
this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm.

For more on the AutoTextList field see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...istcontent.htm.

Hope this helps,
