Hello!
So my goal is to enter as many names as I want at once into the Word drop downs created in the Design Mode under the Developer tab. As it is currently, you can only enter one name at a time. I have over 300 names I need to add to multiple drop downs on multiple documents so I have looked for a Macro solution.
I found this solution here with the following code:
When I first used this I didn't realize I had to title the drop down with "DDList" (or whatever I want to call it; I have different name lists for different drop downs so I assume I can make a bunch of different ones with different names). Anyway, after doing that I was able to run the macro successfully and I was ecstatic. However after trying to run it on multiple drop downs at once it doesn't work. I asked the creator of the code if there was something wrong or if there was a work around I can do and he replied:Please Login or Register to view this content.
"The code works with the first titled “DDList” If you have more than one titled DDList then you would have to used .Item(2), .Item(3) etc. Or if your CCs have different titles then change “DDList” in code above to the appropriate title as you process each one."
I have no idea what this means or how I can use it to do what I want it to do. I am brand new to VBA's/Macros, I didn't even know they existed until this. Luckily google exists but I still can't seem to figure out what he means and what I should do to solve my problem. I'm hoping you guys can help me.
Some side notes: I'm using Word 2016 on Windows 10
