Default Pull down and Save to Excel

I would like to create a form in Word that would have many pull down menus
and then save the information in either an Excel spreadsheet of access DB. I
am not sure how to start and would appreciate any help on where to begin.

Thanks in advance.

Default Pull down and Save to Excel

Hi ?B?RGFuaWVsbA==?=,

I would like to create a form in Word that would have many pull down menus
and then save the information in either an Excel spreadsheet of access DB. I
am not sure how to start and would appreciate any help on where to begin.

I'm curious why you'd create the form (userform / dialog box?) in Word, then
want to save the information in a different application?

One things certain: this would require a macro (VBA) solution, which means you
need to follow up on this in a word.vba newsgroup (for developer questions).
When you ask there, you should include more information, such as

- the reason (because everyone will ask the same question I did)

- the version of Word

- any macro/programming background you may have, so that we know at what level
to start the discussion

- more details about what you want to do and how it should look

To give yourself some background, I recommend looking at the tutorials on
word.mvps.org concerning creating UserForms, creating menus/toolbars and
exchanging data with Excel/Access.
