Hi All!

To be very transparent I know very little to nothing about how macros and codes work on Word and I have just been starting to use and play around with them within a document I am creating. I have mostly just been copying and pasting generalized codes with my inputs.

I have coded a table to have multi-level drop-downs to answer questions and I want to add a command button that will copy the same drop-down scenario to a row inserted directly below the previous one. Is this possible via a command button? I have also created the row I want as a bookmark I just do not know how to write the code.

Apologies if this is confusing or cannot be done this is my first post here but hoping you might be able to help.

Thank you!

Depending on how the contents of the row are configured a repeating section content control, which wouldn’t require any code, may work

Hi also adding this attachment, unfortunately, I can't add the real details because it is for work and I cannot share but this is set up almost identically with the type of macros I have now, I am looking to add a button under the 2nd row that will create the same information in the drop downs. hopefully this helps

Thank you!

A repeating section content control may work. However, you would do better by using combo box content controls instead of form fields.

Whichever you use you will be faced with a problem - you will have controls with duplicate names, which will make coding difficult.

Neither approach requires the use of a command button - which can of itself be problematic.
