Hey macropod, I successfully found a way around the character limit by storing the excel columns as arrays.
However, in other parts of my document, I am still using value to fill in multiple fields from the dropdown. Which brings me to my question: In your first post in this thread, your code included the following:
Code:
With xlWkBk
With .Worksheets(StrWkShtNm)
' Find the last-used row in column A.
LRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
' Populate the content control titled 'ID', with Column A for the 'ID' as the
' content control Text and the values from columns B-E as the content control
' value, using a "|" separator
ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("ID")(1).DropdownListEntries.Clear
For i = 1 To LRow
ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("ID")(1).DropdownListEntries.Add _
Text:=Trim(.Range("A" & i))
'or, for example, to add the contents of column B to the content control's 'value':
'ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("ID")(1).DropdownListEntries.Add _
Text:=Trim(.Range("A" & i)), Value:=Trim(.Range("B" & i))
Next
End With
.Close False
End With
I can get the contents of column B to be my value, but I cannot see how the value can be from B-E columns using a "|" separator. Is that part missing from your code, or am I missing something?
Thanks
