Using Word 2002. I have a form which uses several AutoTextList fields
and in some cases the same AutoTextList is used to populate more than
one field in the form - i.e., the same 'list' may be used more than
once.
After an item is selected from the 'list' a checkmark appears to the
left of the selection just made. (This checkmark 'sticks' with the
selection even when closing and restarting Word, i.e., Word
'remembers' the last selection made in that particular list).
Next, I use F11 to jump to the next field, then right-click to open
the selection list. The list opens and the checkmark is showing
against the item I selected last time. If I now try to select a
different item from the list, the field remains unpopulated. Very
occasionally, if I keep selecting this new item, say 3-4 times, the
new selection will then populate the field. However ALMOST ALWAYS the
new selection will not populate the field.
It's got me thoroughly baffled, but I'm sure someone here will know
the answer! Thanks!
