Combo Box Content Control

Question

I've been trying to create a form using word where the user selects an item from a drop down list in Combo Box Content Control once they select it I want it to prefill the next line on the form with set responses based on what they selected from the list.

Is there anyway to do this?

E.g.

User selects "Team A" from drop down list next line prefills with access to "Front Door, Windows & and inner door".

Next user selects "Team C" from drop down list next line the prefills access to "Front Door only"

Answer 1

Unless you want to roll up your sleeves and learn a whole lot about XML and content control mapping then you would probably want to hire someone to develop the "On selection" method.  For the OnExit method, I am not aware a speific guide, but you could probably adapt the code in the following to suit your purposes:

Cheers Greg that worked a treat :)

Answer 3

Is there a guide anywhere for this?

Answer 4

Yes there is a way to do this.  On selection will require you to use mapped content controls and a CustomXMLPart.  If you can wait until the user selects and exits the dropdown then you can use the Document ContentControl_OnExit event to define the text in the following line (I assume you will use a plain text CC for this.).
