Why can't I double click an item in a drop down menu to insert?
I have created a template for my work reports but am frustrated that I have
to manually scroll each menu item to the top of the field and then click OK for it to drop into the shaded area. I also cannot tab between shaded area which would greatly expsdite my process. Any help is appreciated, even if I just knew I can't do what I am thinking this software shoudl do. |

If this is a form containing form fields, then you must protect the form
(Tools | Protect Document or click the padlock button on the Forms toolbar) in order to tab between form fields. -- Suzanne S.

It sounds like you're using a dropdown form field from the Forms toolbar, but you haven't protected the document for forms. See http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22, particularly step 4. When the document is unprotected the form field is in "design mode", and when you protect the document the fields work normally. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
