Re: drop-down field

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

What I followed the instruction carefully the only thing I change was the
word product to reason. when I right click on the word reason It only brings
up the 12 reasons. after saving in a template and moving it into the drive.
when ever anyone else click on reason they get the full list plus the extras.
I must have did something wrong.

Did you create a specific style just for these entries? I think you need to
go back and read that article more carefully? You ARE using an AutoTextList
field, right? It should show a menu of only the entries in the specific
style you created for them.

ok done this, only problem is that when the other employees go and use the
letters and right click on product not only do they get the product but
they
get all the AutoText entries (i.e signature, Date, time). how to I take
these
out of the list, so that just the products show up.

AutoText entries can be saved only in a template, so you need to be
storing
these entries in a document template and saving that on the shared
drive.

Thanks Suzanne.
Everything is working great... one other thing I am saving the
document on
a
shared drive at the office so everyone can use the same letter. The
only
thing is when I come to the "product" and right click the other
employees
dont get the same (options) as I do. any way I can fix this.

my
list (add or delete) what do I need to do.

thanks

I'm not aware of any bookmarks involved in an AutoTextList

Did
you
carefully follow the instructions for creating a style, saving
the
AutoText
entries in that style, etc.?

How do I add into a drop-down box a selection of sentences
to
finish a
paragraph in a letter. Using the same template but just
change
certian
endings to a paragraph.

thanks
