Fieldcode IF

[Kjell Blomseth]

Hello
I am creating a schema where I want to autofill some information.

In one line I have created a dropdown-list. Word has given the the list the
bookmark-name List1.
In the next line I have tried to create an "IF-question":
{ IF { List1 } = "Value x" "Textstring ..." }

I had expected Word to fill in "Textstring ..." in the line, if I chose
"Value x" from the drop-down-list.

(Values in the drop-down-list will be company names, and values in the next
lines will be their address. Any smarter solutions than IF-question?)

If you're using on "online form" (with form fields in the document
etc.), you will need to do at least the following:
a. in the properties of the dropdown, check Calculate on Exit
b. have a second form field
c. after you have selected the value in the dropdown, exit the field.
If you just have a protected form with two fields, that means (more or
less) either clicking in another form field, or tabbing out of the
dropdown field.

(If you have unprotected sections in the document, clicking in the
unprotected section may also "exit the field". However, then there is a
problem, which is that if you click in the protected section after the
last form field, Word will put the insertion point in the unprotected
section without "exiting the field", and then nothing much will work
until you go reselect the dropdown field and "exit the field" as in
point (c).)
