How do I set up a drop-down list of images for a Word 2003 form?
We have forms for cemetery markers and would like to be able to insert a
religious symbol from a drop down list of these images. Does anyone know how I can do this? If I insert a drop down list of paths and image names, just the text will show. I want the actual image to show when I select it. Maybe a macro? |

If you store the images in a template as AutoText entries with descriptive names, then you can use an AutoTextList field (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm). However, this will still show only the descriptions, not the images themselves. If you really need to see the images to select one, you can't use any kind of dropdown that's available in Word. You might be able to use Word's clip art manager, adding your images to the clip art collection and assigning keywords to them. In Word 2002 and 2003, that would give you a scrolling task pane to select from. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Unless you really need a protected form for this, you could use an
AutoTextList field, as described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm. You would need to save each image as an AutoText entry in a specific style. -- Suzanne S.
