Hello,
I'm working with a foreign language version of Office 2007, so I'm not quite
sure to translate all terms correctly.
Problem:
I inserted a Drop-Down List from the Developer Tab and entered the following
properies into the Name/Value-Table ("Drop-Down List Properties"):
Name | Value
---------------------
Select |
Art. 1 | 0001
Art. 2 | 1234
Art. 3 | 5678
The Drop-Down List now shows "Select" and the user should thus select one of
the Articles ("Art. 1", "Art. 2"...) which should lead to the effect of
showing the corresponding article number (entered in the value column of the
drop-down list) upon printing the document.
Instead, actually nothing happens. When the user selects e.g. "Art. 1" from
the drop-down list, only "Art. 1" is shown on the print-out. Similarly: When
the user selects "Select" from the drop-down list, "Select" is shown on the
print-out. This, of course, is not what I want: Upon selecting "Select"
(which has an empty value), there should appear nothing when the document is
printed. Equally with "Art. 1": I want the corresponding value, namely "0001"
to be printed.
I hope you understand my problem: The values of the drop-down list never
seem to be shown at any time. So what is this whole thing good for? Or what
am I doing wrong? Or am I totally on the wrong track?
I appreciate every hint, since I'm totally clueless right now :-(
Thank you in advance, everybody!
