AutoTextList problem
(previously posted in microsoft.public.word.docmanagement)
Using Word 2002. I have a form which uses several AutoTextList fields, and in some cases the same 'list' is used to populate more than one field in the form - i.e., the same 'list' may be used more than once. When an item is selected from the list, a checkmark appears in the drop-down list, to the left of that item. (This checkmark 'sticks' with the selection even when closing and restarting Word, i.e., Word 'remembers' the last selection made in that particular list). The field may or may not actually get populated by the selection - seems completely random and intermittent. Use F11 to jump to the next field, then right-click to open the selection list. The list opens and the checkmark is showing against the item I selected last time. If I now try to select a different item from the list, the field remains unpopulated. Very occasionally, if I keep selecting this new item, say 3-4 times, the new selection will then populate the field. However ALMOST ALWAYS the new selection will not populate the field. It's got me thoroughly baffled, but I'm sure someone here will know the answer! Thanks! |
