How to change text direction of drop down field in table?
I want to create a label with drop down field options. The only way I can see
to do this would be in a table and change the text direction but I can't change it once a drop down field is there. Has anyone any ideas PLEASE????? |

How to change text direction of drop down field in table?
I just tested this. If I change the text direction before inserting the
formfield - no problem. If the formfield is inserted first, make sure that the formfield is NOT selected when you go to change the direction. -- Hope this helps.

How to change text direction of drop down field in table?
I've tried that before and it doesn't work. I'm using Word 2003 if that makes
a difference. If I put the drop down field in first, and right click AFTER the field, a warning message appears stating the field will be ignored and not displayed. If I change the text direction first, it won't give me the option to enter a drop down field. HELP!!!! "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: I just tested this.

How to change text direction of drop down field in table?
Sorry, I guess all I tried with was a text formfield. Given the messages
that are displayed when you try to do this, I would say that it is not possible. -- Hope this helps.
