Displaying Lists on Forms

When you're filling out a form, remember that all the information you enter on the form comes from your lists. Customers, vendors, product names, types of service, account names, shipping options, and payment terms all reside on lists. You don't have to guess how a vendor's name is spelled or the specific name of a product. You can display the appropriate list, select the item you need, and then close the list and complete your form.

Place your cursor in a field (for example, the vendor field, customer field, or item field) on your form.

Method #1: Click the drop-down arrow that appears in the field.

Click an item on the list. The list closes and the item appears in the appropriate field.

Method #2: With your cursor in the field you want to fill, press Alt+down arrow on your keyboard.

Arrow up or down to the item you want.

Press Enter to select the item. The list closes and the item appears in the appropriate field.

Method #3: With your cursor in the field you want to fill, press Ctrl+L. A separate list window appears.

Arrow down to the item you want.

Press Ctrl+U. The item is selected and placed in the appropriate field.

Did You Know?

You can jump to a spot in a list. Instead of using the down arrow to move through a list, type the first letter of the item you want to choose and arrow down from that point on the list to the appropriate item.
