<result> (Drop-Down List Selection)

This element specifies the zero-based index of the currently selected entry for the parent drop-down list form field.

If this element is omitted, then the current drop-down list form field shall have the selection specified by the value of the <default> element (§2.16.11). If the attribute value references an index value which does not exist (i.e. a negative number or a number that exceeds the number of items in the drop-down list), then this value may be ignored and the current drop-down list form field shall have the selection specified by the value of the <default> element.

example: 
<w:fldSimple w:instr="FORMDROPDOWN">
  <w:ffData>
    <w:ddList>
      <w:default w:val="1" />
      <w:result w:val="2" />
      <w:listEntry w:val="One" />
      <w:listEntry w:val="Two" />
      <w:listEntry w:val="Three" />
    </w:ddList>
  </w:ffData>
</w:fldSimple>

The <result> element specifies the index of the currently selected value of the drop-down list form field to be 2. In this case, the resulting default value text is Three. ]
