![]() I am creating a form in Microsoft word, which contains a drop down about mid-way through the sheet. There are 4 selections, and each selection requires different information to be shown/hidden below. For example, If I chose "breakfast" in the drop down, i want "eggs", "bacon", "ham", "other" to show up. If I were to choose "lunch", i want "turkey", "chips", etc. Assuming that I have all of my various options written out, how do I create a "hide content" formula upon the selection of a certain drop down? -- mzapalova |
