Drop-down List where items in drop-down list hyperlink to a webpage?
Hello,
I can create a webpage with a form that has a drop-down box. When the user picks an item, they are then redirected to another webpage. Example: Link 1 = http://www.microsoft.com Link 2 = http://www.google.com Link 3 = http://www.adobe.com Link 4 = http://www.irt.org I just got a request to do the same thing in MS Word 2003. Can this be done? I am definitely a newbie - know how to create tables etc but no knowledge of macros. Would someone have a link to a tutorial, word doc or could post how to do this (I assume it is possible???). Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jerry |

Just use Insert, Hyperlink or even more simple, copy/paste the address from
the address box from IE. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "gully" wrote in message ... : Errrr.....should I post this somewhere else.....still no luck.... :-( : : : "gully" wrote in message : ... : Hello, : : I can create a webpage with a form that has a drop-down box.

Hi Terry,
I just created a simple drop-down form field in MS Word 2003. I added item 1, item 2 and item 3. I then clicked on "Protect Form". My dropdown list now has the 3 items (just like a webpage) but I don't see how to make each item go to a separate webpage - once I protect the form the option for insert a hyperlink is not there. When I unprotect the form and check the properties for the dropdown box, there are no options for adding hyperlinks (unless I am looking in the wrong spot). I do see options for running macros but I can't seem to find a website (tutorial, example, word doc etc) that would show me how to create a macro that would be called when I click "item 1" and then go to a webpage. Hope I explained this clearly....and thanks for the reply. Jerry "TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message ...

I think I understand. I think that you will get a better response if you post this into one of the Word VBA newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.vba.userforms Terry "gully" wrote in message ... : Hi Terry, : : I just created a simple drop-down form field in MS Word 2003.
