Neither dropdown nor combobox content controls allow more than one item to be selected at a time. I note that your post title refers to 'multiselect'. See, for example: Dependent Drop Down Lists in Word (), where there is code that does much more than what you're asking.Īnd, for different elements from a selected item to be output to different content controls:ĭropdown Content Control Population from ExcelĬreating and Tallying Mutually-exclusive Checkboxes The code you've posted isn't anything like what one would use for populating a document from a dropdown content control selection. Hopefully it is possible and thanks in advance. I know this is not great but I think it will guide a better understanding of what I am trying to accomplish.
If they select another item, it will in some way populate with the first item or move on to the next line below the first entry. Basically, I would like the user to "activate" the drop down, click the item them want, and it will populate directly below (using a bookmark) in the word document.
Below is my really bad attempt at what I am trying but should shed some light on where I am going with this. My main issue is that I have no working knowledge of the vba behind these "content controls" I just spent hours reading through literature about them but can't quite wrap my head around it. For a work around, see my: Content Control Custom Checkboxes and Interactive Toggle Objects. DOTX or template file in Word and I have a Drop-Down List (content control style) and I am attempting to give users the ability to select items from the list and have the selections populate to preselected locations in the Word Document. Table 1 Note: The Check Box content control is new in Word 2010 and was not available in Word 2007. T he purpose of this Microsoft Word Tips & Microsoft Word Help page is to provide an introduction to mapped content controls and their usefulness in creating a rich document user experience. I have programmed in VBA for years but mostly in Excel.
