Fill-ins with Dropdown lists?
Is it possible to have a mailmerge fillin with a dropdown list? How about
if the dropdown is identified programmatically? It would be great! TIA

Fill-ins with Dropdown lists?
Hi ZSplash,
Is it possible to have a mailmerge fillin with a dropdown list? How about if the dropdown is identified programmatically? The exact answer to your question is no. But, if you can describe in a bit more detail what you have in mind AND in which version of Word it should work, there *might* be a workaround (involving VBA)...

Fill-ins with Dropdown lists?
Thanks, Cindy.
Word 2002, SP3. I want to have choices (rather than require them to mistype in fillins) like: Currently have: {FILLIN "Enter type:" \d "student/teacher/parent" \o } Want to have a drop down: {FILLIN "Enter type:" \d [[dropdown of choices: student/teacher/parent]]" \o } Appreciate any direction you can give me, Cindy! st.

Fill-ins with Dropdown lists?
Hi ZSplash,
Word 2002, SP3. I want to have choices (rather than require them to mistype in fillins) like: Currently have: {FILLIN "Enter type:" \d "student/teacher/parent" \o } Want to have a drop down: {FILLIN "Enter type:" \d [[dropdown of choices: student/teacher/parent]]" \o } Appreciate any direction you can give me, Cindy! I'm afraid your only possibility - if you want a "popup box" - is going to be a UserForm. Or you need form fields or ActiveX controls in the document. Fillin fields are, like, maybe 20 years old. Things weren't so fancy back then :-) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-)
