Auto Poputating Address in Word 2003

[RC485]

I hope someone can help me. I have a word document that has a address field
and I am trying to figure out how to make the address auto populate. I have
created a drop down box for the user to choose the name of the ship to
location but I am stuck at that point. I know there has to be a way to add
the address automatically once the ship to location is selected. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Running the following macro on exit for the Location DropDown FormFeld will
populate a TextInput FormField with the bookmark name of "Address" with the
address corresponding to that location if it has been saved as an autotext
entry with the name of the location.

With ActiveDocument
.FormFields("Address").Result = .AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries _
(.FormFields("Location").Result).Value
End WIth
