Word - form fields
"List text"? Are you saying that the field for a drop-down is getting cut
off? What I do is create an additional entry with blank spaces...enough blank spaces to make that choice longer than any of the others. Then, that's the choice that's at the top. This way, no choice is printed if I create a "blank" form either. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "PowerPoint" wrote in message ...

A listbox is not a form field...it's an ActiveX control. To make it
wider, set the WIDTH property. You might also want to check out this link for more tips/tricks... Word AutoForm Articles http://www.mousetrax.com/techpage.html#autoforms Dian D.

Word - form fields
Dian:
I want to have the value of a field copy what is entered into another field. If this were an Excel document, I'd just put "=$b$2" and the value of the referenced cell would be added. I don't know how to do this in a Word Form. Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks Melanie "Dian D. Chapman, MVP" wrote: A listbox is not a form field...it's an ActiveX control.

You could use a REF field. See
