To get more, you have to create a userform and place a combobox or listbox in it. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306258 and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm. Once you have a userform, you can get the information from almost any source -- a Word document, a text file, an Excel worksheet, an Access database... If you need further help with this, post questions in the newsgroup microsoft.public.word.vba.userforms. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
