drop down menus
I am creating a form in WORD and I want the user to be able to pick their
address from a list of 7 addresses. I was thinking that that would be created in a drop-down field. Please help. |

this worked great, but when I emailed it to a co-employee the AutoTextList
did not come with the document. When I right-clicked the list that Microsoft set up pops up.

If you had said anything before about emailing the form, I would have added
more information. :-) The AutoText entries used in the AutoTextList are stored by default in your Normal.dot template. They can't be stored in a document, they must be in a template. If you want to continue to use an AutoTextList, you have two choices: 1. Store the AutoText entries in a separate template (see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...n/AutoText.htm for how to do that). Then put that template in your Startup folder (as listed in Tools Options File Locations; see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...latesStore.htm) so it becomes a global template and the AutoText entries are available in all documents. Send a copy of that template to everyone who needs to use the form, and instruct them to put it in their Startup folder, too. OR 2. Save your form as a template (.dot file). Then use the Organizer (Tools Templates & Add-Ins Organizer) to move the AutoText entries into the form. Send that template/form. An alternative (more reliable but more complicated to create) is a userform (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...AUserForm.htm). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. smithd wrote: this worked great, but when I emailed it to a co-employee the AutoTextList did not come with the document.
