It's by no means apparent from your attachment what the 'output values' are of where they'd come from. Your content control isn't even a dropdown - which is what the thread you posted in concerns (I've moved this discussion to a thread of its own). If you're contemplating having the values typed into a text content control, I can't see how that would be as efficient as typing the details directly into the cells concerned - apart from which, you'd need to have one such content control on every row or some fancy coding to have Word find the next available row.

I can't seem to find the original thread that I posted this to, so I'm unable to reference it. However on that thread in one of your earlier replies you posted the attached document. The one with the "Roundhouse Nurseries" drop-down list and it was able to output values to another content control (the one that uses your on-exit macro). In that example you had it outputting a phone number, a fax number, and an email address. I was trying to use that example you attached and instead of it outputting values separated by a line break (hitting the enter key) or whatever the technical term is, I was hoping to find a way for it to output those values into the cells of the table. On a side note, the content control in the first cell is a drop-down list whenever I open the document, so I'm not sure why you said that it wasn't even a drop-down. Do you not see the drop-down content control when you opened the previous attachment? Please let me know if I'm not being clear enough or if you need any other information as to what I am trying to accomplish. Thank you for your time.
