ListEntry Object (Word)

Represents an item in a drop-down form field. The ListEntry object is a member of the ListEntries collection. The ListEntries collection includes all the items in a drop-down form field.

Remarks

Use ListEntries(Index), where Index is the list entry name or the index number, to return a single ListEntry object. The index number represents the position of the entry in the drop-down form field (the first item is index number 1). The following example deletes the "Blue" entry from the drop-down form field named "Color."

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Color").DropDown _ 
 .ListEntries("Blue").Delete

The following example displays the first item in the drop-down form field named "Color."

MsgBox _ 
 ActiveDocument.FormFields("Color").DropDown.ListEntries(1).Name

Use the Add method to add an item to a drop-down form field. The following example inserts a drop-down form field and then adds "red," "blue," and "green" to the form field.

Set myField = _ 
 ActiveDocument.FormFields.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, _ 
 Type:=wdFieldFormDropDown) 
With myField.DropDown.ListEntries 
 .Add Name:="Red" 
 .Add Name:="Blue" 
 .Add Name:="Green" 
End With
