I have created a macro to generate filename from entries in a form in Word 2003 and save with this filename. The macro uses bookmarks to identify the text to be used. It works fine if the bookmark is for a legacy text form field, but if used with a drop down form field it generates a save error:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call RunSpellcheck
Dim pStr As String
pStr = "C:\Users\John\Desktop\" 'Your directory
pStr = pStr + ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("text").Range.Text
pStr = pStr + " "
pStr = pStr + ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("ward").Range.Text
pStr = pStr + " .doc"
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=pStr
Dim sCode As String
MsgBox "Your Intelligence report was saved to the central WINTEL inbox for processing & emailing. No further action is required; it is now safe to close the document"
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated- is there any way to use the selected text item from the drop down, or, if not, to copy & paste the text into a text form field which the macro will recognise?
