I have a Drop down list Form field in my document, with a
Cross-reference to the Fields bookmark. I want the Cross-reference text
to be displayed in bold, which works fine when all items in the Drop
down list are single words, however, when I have a item in the list
which is two words only the first word retains the forwarding?

Any ideas how I can use a reference to extract data and be able to
format the text (keeping the format across multiple words)?

TIA

Hi Mc,

If I'm following you correctly...

Alt+F9 to display the field codes; a cross-reference uses a REF field.

Make sure there is no \* MergeFormat switch in the field, and add a \*
CharFormat switch. Example:

{ REF Dropdown1 \* CharFormat }

Alt+F9 again to hide the field codes.
