multiple choices in a word template

[juree]

Im trying to create a template in which the first option is to select a company from a list of 5.

Ive tried using option buttons and check boxes, but they seem to disregard any formatting (also my vb coding talents are VERY limited

).

How would I go about doing this?

Let me know your email address and I'll send you a template with what you need. I will update this thread on how to achieve what you require too.

File "test.dot" sent.

I created a form with a drop down text field. I added 5 companies in the selection list (you can add as many as you want) and then protected the document as a FORM (TOOLS -> PROTECT DOCUMENT, select the FORMS radio button) and then saved it as a template document (.dot).

 

[juree]

had a look at it and it works really well! Only problem is that im not sure whether the end user wanted to be able to select more than one company...

 

[juree]

...but how did you do the protect function in the first place? Mine is greyed out

 

[Hasit]

If the user wants to select more than one company set up 2 fields with the same entries.

I don't know why your protect document would be greyed out. Are you working on a networked machine and loading Word from a server?

 

[juree]

figured it out. i had tried to input a combo box and as soon as that happens, you can no longer protect a document.
Also the user only wants one entry so thats good news.

Thanks!
