IF/THEN statements

[aleeherself]

I am writing a word purchase order with drop-down lists for the description
of each item. I have written a macro with an IF/THEN statement to print the
answer as blank if "None" is chosed in the drop-down list, and have chosen
the name of this Macro to run at the exit of the drop-down list. However, it
does not work. This is what I wrote, where have I messed up?

Sub DescriptionDropDown()
'
' DescriptionDropDown Macro
' Macro created 7/18/2006 by Audrey Lee
'
' IF BookmarkDescription$ = "None" THEN print ""

End Sub

Thanks for your help!

First, you've commented out the only line in the macro that could actually
do anything.

Second, (assuming your question relates to the IF line) where does
BookmarkDescription$ come from? If you're trying to retrieve the dropdown
value, you need something like

activedocument.FormFields("FieldName").DropDown.Value

where "FieldName" is the name assigned to the dropdown.

Third, what are you hoping the 'print "" ' will do? Print where?
