VBA code for MS Word

VBA code for MS Word

VBA code for MS Word

(OP)
I have a problem,

I wanna use the VB controls in a Word document (used as a form, but not quite) because i don't want to make my document available in a "protected" format.

So basically, i want to add a scrolling list in a document and be able to use the drop down button without having the document protected.  It looks like the only solution is a "control" combobox.  I tried to follow the instruction and i came up with the following code:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
ComboBox1.List = Array("first","second","third")
End Sub

But it doesn't work.

Please help.

RE: VBA code for MS Word

Hi Titouenne,

It's been a while since I've done anything with Word and VBA, but it seems to me you have to take the control out of "design mode" before it will work.  You should hvae a small blue (maybe brown?) triangle somewhere near the controls toolbox - make sure it is "un-pressed".
