List Box - HELP

[angiec50]

This is totally driving me MAD.

I need to create a list or drop down box in a form on word. The options I
need to have are Red, Amber and Green but I would also like each of the words
to be coloured to the word (i,e, RED to be red, or to have a fill colour
behind it).

CAN ANYONE HELP
Thanks

Instead of using a listbox, use a frame and put three toggle or radio
buttons in it. Then, you can change the appearance of the labels that go
with each of these. It should take up about the same amount of screen
realestate as a listbox, and has some added functionality.

You might also want to take a look as Steve Leban's website
(http://www.lebans.com/). He has some interesting formatting examples
there.

Thanks for the info. I do need to have it as a list box rather than a toggle
or option button. I presume that I will need to use VBA but havent got a clue.

As Dale suggested, check what Stephen Lebans has, specifically at
http://www.lebans.com/listboxenhanced.htm

If that doesn't do what you want, then you'll have to look at a third party
control such as TList from Bennet-Tec
