How create drop down w/addresses in template
Thank you but that does not appear to be what I need. To be more specific, I
would like to have a drop down with Dr. Xyz's name, for example, in the address section of a letter; when Dr. Xyz's name is chosen, the adressee area is populated with the name, address, city, state and zip in a letter type format.

How create drop down w/addresses in template
This will do what you want. You save Dr. Xyz's name and address as an
AutoText entry in the Inside Address style. The name of the entry is Dr. Xyz's name. You do the same for other prospective recipients. The AutoTextList field will display the list of names; you select one, and the name and address are inserted. This assumes that you have a limited number of recipients. If you want to be able to include new recipients, perhaps you're looking for Insert | Address, which allows you to add addresses from your Outlook Contacts. -- Suzanne S.

previous version. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This will do what you want. You save Dr. Xyz's name and address as an AutoText entry in the Inside Address style.

How create drop down w/addresses in template
AutoText has become part of the QuickParts gallery in Word 2007. Entries are
a bit more difficult to create and use, but I've been assured that the AutoTextList field will still work in that version. Once you've got Word set to save your AutoText entries to the correct template (which in previous versions is done by selecting the template in Insert | AutoText | AutoText), then Alt+F3 will still work to create the AutoText entries. -- Suzanne S.

How create drop down w/addresses in template
You can either use the AutoTextList field or you can use the new Building
Block Gallery content control which is a bit easier to use and it isn't style related. Here's a link to an article on how to create Building Blocks in Word 2007: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...341311033.aspx In order to use the BB content control, add your entries to a specific gallery and category. Then on the Developer tab, in the Controls group, add a BB content control to your document. Click the Properties button and you'll see how to associate the Gallery and Category at the bottom. After you associate the Gallery and Category, click the arrow at the top of content control to make your selection and populate the data. If you do not see the Developer tab, click the Office Button, click Word Options, in the Popular section select "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon". Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email cannot be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Coauthor of Word 2007 Inside Out: http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/boo...x#AboutTheBook Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "gwaller" wrote in message ...
