MS Word "Forms Drop Down List"
For MS Word 2003, in using the "Forms Drop Down List" is it possible for the
forms users to make "multiple" selections instead of just one selection from the pull down list? If not, what is the best 'work around' for this? |

(And if it did allow multiple selections, how would you propose to show the results when the dropdown is closed?) The only alternative is to create a userform (http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Create_and...a_UserForm.htm) and put a list box on it; set the value of the list box's MultiSelect property to fmMultiSelectExtended. You still need to decide how you want to display the selected values in the document. -- 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. |
