Word 2013: Building Blocks / Quick Parts - Form Question
Hello All,
I'm building a form in Word 2013. Basically, I have a question that will have a drop down answer, of "yes" or "no". Then if the answer is yes, I want to provide one set of boiler plate text.. if it is no, I want to provide another set of boiler plat text. What is the best way to trigger that? Has anyone done something similar and have some advice? I don't want to over complicate the form. Thanks! |

Surely the simplest approach, one that doesn't require the presence of a dropdown you may not want to print, is to allow the user to select & insert the Quick Part directly. No code (which might get disabled for all sorts of reasons) required.

Another method would be a simple IF field with AutoText fields.
I am assuming a legacy drop-down field with a bookmark and set to calculate on exit. { IF "{ REF DropDownBookmarkName }" = "yes" { AutoText "AutoTextEntry1" } { AutoText "AutoTextEntry2" } } Note, the field braces { } cannot be typed in from the keyboard. You have to use either Ctrl-F9 or the Insert > Quick Parts > Field. |
