Hi Macropod, thank you for replying.
Apologies for putting the question on the wrong thread, it's my first time on a forum!
I'm attaching the word document. The code below works fine for the drop down box called "CC" but I don't know how to do another set of code for the drop down box "Summary". Hope this makes sense. I do not really have an idea of how to do the second one but I have tried copying and pasting the same code (but edited to refer to "Summary") into the same screen as the first one and also into another module screen.
I didn't make up the colours but got them from here:
https://github.com/OfficeDev/VBA-con...ration-word.md and they all seem to work fine
Maybe word is just interpreting them for me but they all come up as slightly different.
