Form Fields

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest

A dropdown box is usually inserted from the "Forms" toolbar. Insert using
the respective icon on the toolbar, then double-click on it to enter the
Properties window to enter the various choices. You will need to protect
the document (as a form) for the dropdown to work.

What type of "pop up box" are you looking for? What do you need it to do?
Normally these are message boxes (MSGBOX) that are entered via programming
code.

Please clarify.

This is a great place to start (check out the tutorials by Dian Chapman on
this page as well):

See Word help on the following topics but also follow up on Bill's request
for specifics because there are lots of ways to do what you ask, some better
than others in specific contexts:

online forms - drop downs
ASK field - pop-ups
FILL-IN field - pop-ups

You may also want to take a look at the page on how to create a userform on
the MVP FAQ site if you are comfortable using vba. A userform can be a
pop-up with a dropdown field.
