selected previously selected item (bookmark)

[OTWarrior via OfficeKB.com]

I have a drop down form field that I want the User to go back into if a
certian option is selected.
Rather than go for specific bookmark or item names, how would you select the
item you just left?

Am I right in thinking word would keep this information, as when you "Undo"
it moves the selection to where you were before?

Hi,

There's probably a better way, but this 'on exit' macro seems to work:

Sub FF_Test()
With ActiveDocument
If .FormFields("Dropdown3").Result = "3" Then .FormFields("Dropdown2").Select
End With
End Sub

It works by selecting the formfield immediately preceding the one you want to reactivate.

Cheers

Unfortunately it didn't reselect the drop down form field.
Thanks for the suggestion though

Hi,

That approach worked in my testing with Word 2007, but seeing as how it didn't work for you, perhaps the approach at:

will do a better job.

Cheers
