Dear Gregory,

Thank you very much for your help. You got it right and offered a workable solution.
One question. To change the displayed value from the list and run the macro further, you have to make four clicks (1st to activate the CC drop down list, 2nd to activate the list, 3rd to activate the value in the list, 4th outside the CC to accept the new selected value). While not critical, is there any way to get rid of the 4th click? I mean, to make Word realize that after the 3rd click, the value is already selected, and continue the macro from there.
