Multiple items to select from within a form....
Working on a form for work... trying to add a series of questions (some are
quite lengthy) to select from within one box. There will be 6 subjects with 4 questions each (each subject will require one question to be selected and answered). Tried the "field form drop-box", but it only allows so many characters per row. I'm not savvy with Macro and am not a computer guru... so this is frustrating. Is there a way to either expand the character length within the "form field drop-box" to add the questions I need OR is there a "step by step" way to do this another way. I'm open to suggestions. Hope this makes sense.... Thanks for your advice and assistance. CR |

There is no simple way to do what you want, but you can insert a series of
fields based upon the result of a check box or form field as shown in the example "Repeat a block of formatted text and form fields based upon the content of another form field" at http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm and there are some further examples at http://www.gmayor.com/SelectFile.htm . If you want to get more adventurous, there are several tutorials at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm that you might find useful. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CR wrote: Working on a form for work... trying to add a series of questions (some are quite lengthy) to select from within one box.
