Hi:
I have been trying to create a form where when the user selects a phrase
that phrase is automatically copied to another section of the document. I
have tried to create a macro for this however have been unsuccessful. I use
word 2002.

Also, I want the user to be able to choose multiple phrases from a dropdown,
not just one.
Any help would be appreciated
thanx

When you insert a dropdown list form field, you can add as many entries as
you like (well, up to 25) using the Form Field Options dialog. You can then
use a REF field to pick up the contents of that form field and insert them
elsewhere, using the field's built-in bookmark. For instructions, see the
relevant portion of http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm.

Thanks, for the reply.

If I may ask another question related to this. My document will have
severeal drop downs. The user should be able to choose if he/she wants the
phrase/result to be copied (maybe by selecting a checkbox) if the box is
checked the phrase will be copied if not the phrase will only be in the
dropdown.
Thank you very much

For that you're going to need some VBA, so you'll need to post in the
microsoft.public.word.vba.general (Programming) newsgroup.
