Validate table contents
I have a table in a word document (which acts as a template) that I add rows
to as needed. Is there a way that I can validate that the values in a specific column are from a list of values? I thought about using a combo-box but am not sure how this would work if another row is added to the table. It doesn't seem that creating a form is the most appropriate solution, but I am open to any suggestions. |

You can probably do what you want with an AutoTextList field, which presents a dropdown list of AutoText entries from a particular category. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/AutoTextList.htm. Because you can save AutoText entries only in a template, not in a document, you should save your current document as a real template. Just use File SaveAs and set the file type to "Document Template (*.dot)". Then create your working document by using File New and selecting the template. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
