Default Using form text fields included in an IF Statement with autotext

Hello,

I am having a lot of problems with a template I am creating. I have a
dropdown box "dropdown1" and I have an If field which pulls in an
autotext entry. This autotext entry also has form fields that I want
to fill out after I have selected a choice from the dropdown.

Is this possible? It does not seem to be working for me. The
autotext entry comes in fine but it does not let me fill in the
formfields I have inserted. It dosen't even see them there.

If I bring in the autotext entry in manualy by typing it there is no
problem. I can see the form fields and they work. But not using an IF
field.

This is what I have.

Dropdown box = "dropdown1"
Autotext entries = Option1, and Option2 both contain form fields
within.

{If {REF "dropdown1"} = "Option1" {AUTOTEXT "Option1"}}{IF {REF
"dropdown1"} = "Option2" {AUTOTEXT "Option2"}}

Any help appreciated.

Steve
