Assuming that you are talking about adding Drop-down items in the Drop-Down
Form Field Options dialog, you can either right click when you have the select in the Drop-down item control or use Ctrl+V and the data that you have copied to the clipboard will be inserted into the control. -- Hope this helps.

how can I copy and paste text in to a drop down form field
You can paste them all into a macro and run the macro to populate the field
e.g. for Dropdown1 Sub PopulateDD1() Dim oDD As DropDown Set oDD = ActiveDocument.FormFields("DropDown1").DropDown With oDD.ListEntries .Add "Apples" .Add "Apricots" .Add "Artichokes" End With End Sub Nore there is a limit of 25 entries to a dropdown field. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jeff Leggett wrote: after creating a drop down form field I am able to insert text by typing & adding however I would like to paste text in as some of the text is rather long - I am unable to do this - any help would be much appreciated - thanks Jefff |
