Default Word drop-down content control dependent display issue

Hi,

If I enabled a drop-down list on Word form, is it possible to choose a user under the list and then show mobile phone corresponding to the user on mobile phone field?



e.g. When I choose "SalesA", then Word form will auto display the SalesA phone number on the Mobile phone field.

Please see attached example, thanks.

Thanks Paul,

But it seems cannot be changed to template format, once I save as template, it becomes plain text only.

In what file format are you saving your template?

Templates in the dotx format can't contain macros - you need the dotm template format for that.
