IF Then = Automatic Form Fill Out

Topic

New Reply

I would like Word to read the word “Ted” and fill in Record number automatically.
Note the name filed would have a drop down that has a lot of names to choose from.
From web surfing I came up with the below formula. But word doesn’t read the person’s name. What should I do?

Name: Todd Record# IF Name:>>”Todd”<< “1234” “false”

Name: Ted Record#    (auto fill here)

Would Excel be a better platform to use for your project?  What are you trying to do?
