From: Rob Dougherty Rob on 23 Feb 2010 14:37 I am trying to create a template with merge fields and fill ins with custom drop down menus that I can use to complete a patient encounter form
From: vttotal on 23 Feb 2010 14:51 I think the best thing to do that would be en Excel as they offer List options from values that you can enter in a customer data table. You can use drop down menus to pick your customers name the data "data validation" tool. I don't know how big is your client list but if you are dealing with large number of customers the best thing to do is to create a database using Access.

From: Graham Mayor on 24 Feb 2010 02:04 Merge fields and form fields are mutually exclusive. However you may find http://www.gmayor.com/Form_Fields_and_Mail_Merge.htm useful. For help on creating protected forms, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm In order to use form fields in Word 2007, you will need to display the Developer tab (Office Button > Word Options > Popular > Show the Developer tab in the Ribbon) and then use the Legacy Forms controls from the Legacy Tools palette in the Controls group on that tab. You will find those controls more accessible if you modify the ribbon as described at http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic%20Form%20Controls.htm (or until Greg puts it on his web site, download an add-in containing the ribbon from http://www.gmayor.com/Extras/ClassicFormControls.zip) -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "Rob Dougherty" <Rob Dougherty(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9DAAD806-C2E3-4B4A-80ED-D12178E25F30(a)microsoft.com... >I am trying to create a template with merge fields and fill ins with custom > drop down menus that I can use to complete a patient encounter form
