Creating Shorcuts to insert choices of different text
Hi, it is possible to make to make a box whereby I can insert a choice of several answers each with its own shortcut code/key e.g
What type of valve is fitted? ~#A A bronze ball valve ~#B A steel ball valve ~#C A stainless steel ball valve ~#D A bronze globe valve ~#E A steel globe valve ~#F A stainless steel globe valve Many thanks for your help Chris |

You could add each of your strings to Word's Auto-correct facility so that, when you type:
~#A for example, Word replaces it with: A bronze ball valve

AutoCorrect has already been suggested. AutoText would be another option. Take a look at the AutoTextList field. AutoTextList field - How to add pop-up lists to any Word document, so you can click your way through changes in seconds Automated Boilerplate Using Microsoft Word It sounds as if you do not want a drop-down list but rather want context-sensitive shortcuts. If so, the AutoTextList field is about as close as Word comes. If you want a drop-down list, there are several options available. You might also want to look into using a custom dialog box, called a userform. Create a Simple Userform Create & Employ a Userform |
