Auto populate a text field based on Content Control Dropdown List
Honestly, I don't know where to begin. I have created a word document which has a Content Control dropdown list. The list is titled "Select Participants" and I've added in the names of the participants. What I'm wanting is for when a participant's name is selected from the Content Control dropdown list, it auto populates a text field (text box?) that corresponds to that participant's name (ie value). I'm very new to VBA code and don't know where to begin (bookmarks?, mapping?, etc.). I don't even know what to input. I've scoured websites but nothing is clear.
Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks. |
