Form Field Protected Document

[bdehning]

Is there a way to have two Drop Down Form Fields in a Word protected document
show the same selection by only making the selection in one drop down field
and not both?

I have a field where a person needs to choose a rating of Excellent, Above
Average, Average, Below Average or Poor and the result needs to show up in
another field at the end of the doucment as well.

At the end of the document, insert a cross reference to the text of the
bookmark assigned to the first Drop Down FormFeld and check the Calculate on
Exit box for that FormField.

Is there a way to do this without having to enter and exit the field.

What I mean is have the person select one of the choices in the field at the
beginning of the report and have the selection show up in both fields
automatically.

I got to work by using the on exit but want it show without having to do
that if possible.

Ok I used REF to solve my issue.

I used Rating as the bookmark for the drop down field and checked calculate
on exit.

I then removed my second drop down field and used "REF Rating" in the field
and then highlighted "REF Rating" and hit CTRL + F9 and got this: { Rating }


You then protect the document and after you make your selection in the drop
down box you just click on another field and the second field shows the
selection you chose.
