Here's the question:

I have a word document that I use in over 50 court districts. The document
is identical the only thing that is different between them is the court name
and address.

So I have 50 documents saved, 1 for each court, my question - since the
document I used is identical between the courts, is there a way to use only
"1" document but build in some kind of pull-down menu that would allow me to
pick what court name and address that I want in the document?

This way instead of sorting through 50 saved documents looking for the court
I need, I could just open 1 document and then pick the court I want.

If anyone knows if this is at possible, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd

Todd,

It is possible. You could create a userform that with a drop down of the 50
courts and when you selected the court you could have it set the value of a
bookmark in the document to the Court Name, Address, etc. Quite a bit of
work.

You could also just create 50 AUTOTEXT entries. Select all of the court
address information and create the entry named for the court.

For example. Type:

This Court
123 Pleasant Ave.
Anywhere, USA 12345

Select the text, press ALT+F3, name it This Court

When open a document. Go where you want the court address and use
InsertAutoText to insert the This Court entry.

Or, use an AutoTextList Field.
