Picklist text prompt option? Nested?
Hello,
I'm trying to find out how to create prompts in Word (a popup that asks a question, e.g., "Is this X or Y?") so that the template user chooses one option from a list of options (X,Y,Z, etc), then text is inserted based on the user's choice. If I can nest a few of these together so that one prompt leads to another, that would be even better. Does anyone know how to do this in Word? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |

I would suggest that you consider the use of a userform.
See the article "How to create a Userform" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm and the following pages of fellow MVP Greg Maxey's website : http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Create_and...a_UserForm.htm http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Populate_UserForm_ListBox.htm The text blocks could be saved as autotext entries in the template and you could have a list of them in one listbox on the userform and have another listbox with a command button that would allow you to move the selected item from the one list box to the other in the order that you want the text blocks to appear in the document. The possibilities are endless. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
