Dynamic Forms question

macropod · #1 05-25-2014, 04:07 PM

Rather than a userform, I'd suggest using the document itself as a form. Attached are three documents, showing how you can use a dropdown content control to:
a) modify the options in another dropdown;
b) vary the text in another dropdown;
c) repeat content somewhere else in the document.
These techniques can be combined into a single document to create a fairly rich form. Although each example uses another content control as the container for the output, the variable and repeated text could be sent to, say, a table cell or a bookmark.

Many thanks for that macropod. Think I should be able to come up with something from these.
