Link/Autofill Form Fields in MS Template
I have a simple MS Word template created in Office 2003 that I have
added drop down menu boxes to certain fields. By making a specific selection in these dropdown menus can I trigger a specific autofill/completion of a separate cell in a table? Does it require a macro or can I just use the Autotext feature? Basically I'm trying to get something akin to a IF 'A' is selected THEN 'B' is filled in a different cell or field. Thanks for any help and if there is another forum that can give advice I'll take it too. |

Link/Autofill Form Fields in MS Template
If we assume that your dropdown list writes the choice to bookmark Dropdown1
then provided you have checked the calculate on exit checkbox of that field, you can reproduce whatever you want wherever you want by means of conditional fields, eg { IF { REF Dropdown1 } = "A" "Dropdown is A" "Dropdown is not A"} { IF { REF Dropdown1 } = "B" "Dropdown is B" "Dropdown is not B"} etc See also http://www.gmayor.com/SelectFile.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org boanerges wrote: I have a simple MS Word template created in Office 2003 that I have added drop down menu boxes to certain fields.
