Out of curiosity, why did you elect to use: Case Is="Not Selected" instead
of Case "Not Selected"?
I've always seen Is be used for comparison operators in a Case statement.
Something like Case Is 50.
Also note that Select Case is case-sensitive so if SELECTED is in uppercase
in the dropdown then it needs to be the same in the macro.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Something like this should do. Set the macro to run on exit from the
dropdown field:
Sub FormatResult()
Dim oFF As FormField
ActiveDocument.Unprotect
Set oFF = Selection.FormFields(1)
Select Case oFF.Result
Case Is = "Selected"
oFF.Range.Font.Name = "Arial Bold"
Case Is = "Not Selected"
oFF.Range.Font.Name = "Arial"
Case Else
'Do Nothing
End Select
ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
End Sub

Happy New Year everyone
i have a good knowledge of word, but know nothing about using macros.
I have created a form with dropdown fields with 2 or more choices, i
would like to attach a macro (conditional format) to each choice of
selection (within the DD field) that will change current font
attributes according to the users choice. can anyone help?
example typical choices: DD field contains
1. Not selected (Arial)
2. SELECTED (Arial Black)
thanking you in advance for your help with this problem
