How do I add into a drop-down box a selection of sentences to finish a
paragraph in a letter. Using the same template but just change certian
endings to a paragraph.

Let me clarify this. I want to add a drop down box at the end of a paragraph
which gives me six reason to why a client it decline, each reason is either a
couple of words too a couple of sentences. I can't add sentences in the drop
down field. How can I get around this.

Everything is working great... one other thing I am saving the document on a
shared drive at the office so everyone can use the same letter. The only
thing is when they come to the "product" and right click on it, the other
employees
dont get the same (options) as I do. any way I can fix this.

I'm not aware of any bookmarks involved in an AutoTextList field. Did you
carefully follow the instructions for creating a style, saving the AutoText
entries in that style, etc.?
