    - Add Bookmark text to a header or footer Is there a way to add a bookmarked text section from the main document to header or footers?

    - Dropdown list question I need help trying to figure out how to do something in Word 2002. I have a form that I am trying to automate. I have a dropdown list with selections for all of my local courthouses and one selection is for out-of-county courthouses. What I want to happen is if the form user selects one of the local courthouses, that selection will display but if the form user selects "out-of-county courthouse" I want the dropdown list to disappear or become hidden and activate 2 or 3 text fields where the form user would type in the out-of-county court information. I also want the results of this to duplicate in one other location on another page of this document. It is a 3-page form. Tag: Auto Correct Tag: 93374

    - checkboxes in word "forms" or docs Word 2002 SP3 Win XP HE SP1 Hi, I would like to know how to insert a "checkbox" into a document so that the reader can just "check" the box or "tick" it whether he prints it and faxes it back or does it by opening up the Word doc and checking the box there--filling out a form--and email it back. I've seen the control tool box but it seems to want an underlying macro for the box, etc.; it adds VBA to the doc. I'm not sure that's what I want. The user might get a security warning when opening the doc, etc.; and if dealing with unsophisticated recipients, they might think virus threat, etc. Plus these boxes seem difficult to handle and align on same line as text, etc. Even if I just use a basic "square" box; I can design it but that also is difficult to handle and align with the text, etc. Maybe I need a good tutorial....?

    - Another mailmerge question Hello, All! My outlook 2k3 contact form is the default. The contact names take the form of Full Name made up of First Name and Last name. First name for a husband and wife is of the form "Jack & Jill". If they have a cell phone then the Mobile field is his and the Other field is hers. I have created a mail merge that works great (thanks to help from Graham here in the group. For the cell phones in the merge I have an IF...Then...Else statement that checks that each cell phone field is not blank and puts the text "Cell:" in front of the number. What I would like to do is have it produce "Jack:" for the Mobile number and "Jill:" in front of the Other field's number. In some cases the Contact is single so it doesn't require any entry in front of the number. Is there a way to do this in a mail merge? Thanks. Thanks, Colonel Blip.
