Word fields

[Andy Penfold]

Hi There

I would like to set up a report template in Word. Within this template I
would like to create a bespoke dialogue box that asks a series of questions
which, when answered, will populate the relevant fields within the report
eg:
What is the Client Company's name?
What is your business division/address? (for this question I would like
pre-determined options ie drop-down menu)

I am not familiar with 'code' so, if this is required, please can you start
from the begining!!

Many thanks

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm.

The article Greg mentions will tell you how to repeat the data once you have
it entered.

Hope this helps,

By the way, you are in a newsgroup that is _about_ code, that is visual
basic for applications. By default, most solutions you find here will be
code-based.
