    need help with forms/text fields

    Hi All,

    Using Office 365 here and need some help with Word.

    I'm trying to create and document that has a few text fields (forms?)... one is normal text input, another is a drop down. I'd like the input entered into these values to automatically duplicate in another area of the document. I tried using this tutorial but it doesn't automatically update the fields in the rest of the document (it will copy the initial selection but not change it when I change my answer). Any help on how to correctly use/fix?

    Example:

    (((top of document)))
    [PROPERTY NAME] [AREA w/ drop down list] [VENDOR]

    (((within document - NOT in footer)))
    PROJECT: [PROPERTY NAME]
    RE: [AREA to duplicate selected drop down from above]
    VENDOR: [VENDOR]


    Thanks in advance.

    Update:

    I was able to answer part of my own question with this (text only, no drop down)

    After Googling all morning, I finally found my answer on duplicating drop down selections on this page using Content Controls

    I have changed the title to what you intended
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
