Word - form fields

[Guest]

How can I change the size of the form field - list text is being cut off.
Thanks.

"List text"? Are you saying that the field for a drop-down is getting cut
off? What I do is create an additional entry with blank spaces...enough
blank spaces to make that choice longer than any of the others. Then, that's
the choice that's at the top. This way, no choice is printed if I create a
"blank" form either.

A listbox is not a form field...it's an ActiveX control. To make it
wider, set the WIDTH property.

Dian:

I want to have the value of a field copy what is entered into another field.
If this were an Excel document, I'd just put "=$b$2" and the value of the
referenced cell would be added. I don't know how to do this in a Word Form.
Can you tell me how to do this?

Thanks
Melanie

You could use a REF field. See
