AutoText in DropDown Form Fields?

[Trial_and_Error]

In building a protected form in Word 2007, can I have AutoText entries in
DropDown Form Fields, which then complete with on-exit macros?

 

[Greg Maxey]

Yes you can.

If your follow up question is how, then you will need to provide some
details like where you want the AutoText to appear. Do you want it replace
the dropdown field or what?

Thanks, Greg. Love the brevity of your first answer! You answered my
question. : )

In thinking through this while I was offine though, I wonder if there is a
limitation. Your follow-up question gets to that point. The user may want to
insert one, none or multiple autotext entries, so I do not want the entry to
replace the field. Possible?

I was not going to ask how to do all of this. Was going to fumble through it
(I learn best by trial and error, usaully more error) with some of the great
documentation you and others already have posted.

I think that trying to do what you envision with a formfield dropdown would
get very complicated and ugly pretty quickly.
