Drop Down Lists

[rickabbey]

It would be useful to enable the user to assign all 10 drop down lists from a main menu that represents each possible folder or glossary. That way, one could change all 10 at once to use for a particular purpose. For example, when using the program, I would like 10 of the drop down lists to represent the body of my document for a specific purpose. Later, I would like to change the 10 drop down lists to be used for the conclusion of my document. When working on a different project for a completely different case, I could once again change all 10 drop down lists at once. Would it be possible to do this?

Rick,

Terrific idea!

I can envision how this will work. It will be a bit different from your precise request, but I think it will accomplish the end goal.

The 'solution' will be to let you save out the structure information regarding your current collection of lists to a file called let's say 'DDLCollection1". Then you reconfigure the DDLs to your liking, replacing some or all of the DDLs. Then save that as "DDLCollection2". (I don't know how many collections there ultimately will be, but let me start with 2.) I will have a menu that will allow you to select DDLCollection1 or DDLCollection2 as needed.

The timing of your request is actually quite remarkable. That is because the solution to Glenn's request (just before yours) provides the gateway to the implementation to your suggestion.

I would have said 'no way' to your suggestion if made last week. Now my response is 'give me a couple of days on this.'  I hope you will assist in the beta for this. (Anyone else who wants to beta, let me know.)

Roy,
I will of course help with the Beta. Please let me know how I can do this.
