I am seeking help with a problem that requires some expertise with Word 
asic.
 
I have placed several Drop-down form fields pn a page and wish to create a 
macro which will read the 'value' in each field and compare it with the 
selected value in other drop-down fields.  However, when I tried assigning a 
variable value to the selected option in a drop-down form field, the value 
stored was not that of the actual text in the field, but the fact that there 
was a field at that bookmark location.
 
Can someone give me some suggestions as to how I can make a macro read the 
value in a field, rather than the fact that the field exists?
 
I will be most appreciative of any assistance,
 
Regards,
 
James
