choose more than one item in a dropdown box?

You can't. They just don't work that way. (And if you could, how would the
dropdown show which items were selected once the list closes?)

The only control available to Word that does multiple selection is the list
box in a userform
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm). To make it do
that, you set its MultiSelect property to True. Then you need VBA code
attached to the userform's OK button to transfer the user's selections to
some suitable place in the document.

If you need help getting that to work with your form, post in
