Thank you for the quick replies Paul and Graham. I am new to using the developer tab in Word and did not realize it would be an issue to do it the way I did. I'm glad you told me this. I will try to take a different route for creating my form. I tried doing the DocVariable Field thing from Graham's link, but I wasn't able to get it to work.
What would be the best way to create a form like this and not run into any of the problems mentioned by Paul? It does not have to be through Word.



If anyone has any samples of a form with hidden text dependent on selections, it would be very helpful to see. Please share if you have one.. thanks!!

Without actually seeing a document in which you've tried to implement it, we can't really advise on where you might have gone wrong. Can you attach a document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive), including the macro code? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.
