Default drop-down field

ok done this, only problem is that when the other employees go and use the
letters and right click on product not only do they get the product but they
get all the AutoText entries (i.e signature, Date, time). how to I take these
out of the list, so that just the products show up.

AutoText entries can be saved only in a template, so you need to be storing
these entries in a document template and saving that on the shared drive.

Thanks Suzanne.
Everything is working great... one other thing I am saving the document on

a
shared drive at the office so everyone can use the same letter. The only
thing is when I come to the "product" and right click the other employees
dont get the same (options) as I do. any way I can fix this.

Create new AutoText entries in the relevant style and delete the

ones.

I'm not aware of any bookmarks involved in an AutoTextList field.

Did
you
carefully follow the instructions for creating a style, saving the
AutoText
entries in that style, etc.?

How do I add into a drop-down box a selection of sentences to
finish a
paragraph in a letter. Using the same template but just change
certian
endings to a paragraph.

thanks
