How do create a drop down list and then make multiple selections?
I am trying to make a letter that has sections where the user can select
multiple selections from a drop down list of recommendation codes. I only want these selections to show when I print the letter. |

I only want these selections to show when I print the letter. The dropdown form fields that you can insert in the body of the document cannot do multiple selection, only single selection. The same is true of the combo box and list controls from the Control Toolbox, and (in Word 2007) the combo box and list content controls. The one tool offered by Word that does allow multiple selection is the list box control that you can put on a userform (a custom dialog programmed in VBA). See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userfo...eAUserForm.htm for an introduction. In that list control, you can set the MultiSelect property to either fmMultiSelectMulti or fmMultiSelectExtended (the difference is that fmMultiSelectMulti lets the user simply click an item in the list to select or deselect it, while fmMultiSelectExtended allows the use of the Shift key to select a range of items or extend the selection, and Ctrl to select or deselect individual items). When the user clicks the OK button to close the userform, code (that you write) can transfer the text of the selected items to the document body. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
