I'm trying to create a form that has drop down choices. I've bookmarked each drop down to its own name.

Now what I'm trying to do is create an if/then column so after an answer is chosen from the drop down, the if/then column will automatically give it a score of 1, 2, or 3 depending on the answer chosen for its respective drop down.



I've watched youtube videos and googled how to's but I can't figure out how to get this thing to work. Can anyone help give me instructions? Is this even possible?

Here's the scenario. My dropdown has "Select", "True", "False", and "Other" as choices. I want the If/Then statement to auto fill a box in a table with the score of 1 for True choices, 2 for False choices, and 3 for Other choices.

Please help!

This is effectively the same type of question as the one asked https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...?forum=worddev.
Can you follow the discussion there?

What kind of dropdown (content control, formfield, ActiveX)?

I don't quite understand what it was talking about honestly. I guess I need to research more info on what Content Control does and how it works.


Form Field. Ultimately what I'm trying to do is have a column with drop down answer choices to questions and a corresponding column that will give the chosen answers a value of 1, 2, or 3.

Thank you for any assistance! If there's a web page or a subject topic you can point me towards that I could read up on that would help me understand and solve my issue I'd be eternally grateful!

Ok after reading up on content control the link you gave me makes a lot more sense. I just need to research about xml mapping now to figure out how to use that.

Here are two utilities that can help with mapping Content Controls. They are free (although a contribution is warranted). I've used both.

• Insert Content Control Add-In by Graham Mayor, MVP
• Content Control Tools by Greg Maxey, MVP

Both make mapping easy and quick. Greg's gives more options, which you may not need. They can coexist and both be installed.

See, for example: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...html#post46429
