Hi!
I'm making a form for my office, and ive run into an issue.
Is there a way to make a drop down list of names, that can be clicked, then auto populate an address with autotext or something similar?

The form has fillable form boxes so it will be a protected document
I'm using word 2010 and windows 7


Thank you for any help

Name a bookmark for the field where you will put the key information. Then use IF Fields elsewhere to put in the information that depends on the key. Make sure the key field has the attribute set to calculate on exit.

Could you give an example of the IF statement? I'm struggling to figure it out on my own.

The link I gave has examples. Here is one of them:
{IF { Mergefield Gender } = "Male" "He" "She"}

converted to your use:


{IF { Ref Keyname} = "Jim" "5555 Odana Road"}
{IF { Ref Keyname } = "Mike" "215 South Hamilton Street"}

Those two would be placed in a Word document with no space between them (and no paragraph break). They only contain truetext; that is, they test for the text in the Keyname bookmark and give you something if there is a match. It is possible to nest another IF field as falsetext, but I find that to be cumbersome and there are limits to how deep you can nest IF fields. There are no limits of which I am aware on the number of IF fields you can have in a document.
