form fields not working in a table Jo Maltas 12.07.2006 04:45:01 Hi Guys, I'm trying to create a drop down list in a table in word (this document is an existing document and the function works correctly on another document). Unfortunately my arrows aren't showing up and there is no way to access the other options on the list. Thanks, Jo

Re: form fields not working in a table "Charles Kenyon" <wordfaq[ at ]nospam.addbalance.com> 12.07.2006 09:25:17 The document needs to be protected for forms to have formfields work properly. 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.
