Can I create dependent drop down boxes in Word 2003?
I'd like to create a form that my employees where first choose someone's name
(or business name) from a drop down box, then have that choice prompt another drop down list showing all of the addresses for that business. Is it possible to do that in Word- I've only been able to make single drop down boxes. |

Can I create dependent drop down boxes in Word 2003?
I would not try to do this with drop down formfields as used in a protected
document as the address, usually being a multiline affair, cannot be handled with a drop down formfield. While it is not impossible to do it with the use of formfields in a protected document, it would be better to do it with a user form. For the basics of that, see the article "How to create a Userform" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm To see how to do the dependent combobox thing with a userform, see: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8e871205297827 That URL needs to be all on one line, so watch for line breaks. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "vickory6" wrote in message ...
