what text is that?

where would you like to place this dropdown? to the ribbon or to the form? if to the ribbon you need to create a Visual Studio addin for that, if thru form them Visual Basic editor.

What kind of 'dropbox' are you using and how are you doing this via a checkbox?

hi, want to create a combo box macro to control the visibility of my text. anyway, I managed to do it using vba script. thanks!

thamgrace,

I am trying to do the same thing, how did you end up solving this? Any help is much appreciated.

create a drop down list with variables "A" and "B"
create your text and book marked as "A" and "B"

Private Sub ComboBox1_DropButtonClick()
ComboBox1.List = Array("A", "B")
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox1_change()
Call ShowHideBookmark
End Sub
Sub ShowHideBookmark()
Dim orange As Range
Set orange = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("A").Range
Set apple = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("B").Range

If ComboBox1.Value = "B" Then
With orange.Font
.Hidden = True
End With
With apple.Font
.Hidden = False
End With

ElseIf ComboBox1.Value = "A" Then
With orange.Font
.Hidden = False
End With
With apple.Font
.Hidden = True
End With
End If
End Sub

Thamgrace,
