Document Dropdowns Reference

[Guest]

How do I refer to a document dropdown without using its name. Like in
Excel I use Sheet1.DropDowns(dropdown_name). How can I do that in
Word? It's not a form fied so it does not work when I do FormFields. I
would like to have a loop for the dropdowns in my document.

Hi,

In Word, DropDowns are formfields! Each DropDown's name is that of the bookmark it sets, which you can see if the document is
unprotected and you right-click on the field to expose its properties. You can test them in code. For example:

Sub DropDownTest()
Dim oFld As FormField
With ActiveDocument
For Each oFld In .FormFields
If oFld.Type = wdFieldFormDropDown Then
If oFld.Name = "DropDown2" then MsgBox "Found it!"
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

Cheers
