Drop-down list?
Thanks, Suzanne,
Works well. Can I call the list with a macro or button? Does the list itself need to stay in the document? How to edit the list, e.g. delete entries? rs "Suzanne S.

You insert the list by inserting the AutoTextList field. When you select an
item from the list, the field is replaced by the AutoText entry. You edit the list by adding or deleting AutoText entries in the given style. -- Suzanne S.
