How do I create a drop down list in word 2003?

[djs]

I want to insert drop down list in word documents, forms, table or spread
sheet. How do I do it?

Use a DropDown Formfield if you want it in a document itself. Use a combo
box on a UserForm if you want it on a custom dialog.

Thanks. I have stated practicing some of the suggestion. Will let you know
how I progress.

Thanks to your help I now managed to design a basic form. I am now trying to
check box form field that are mutually exclusive. Can you help again? i.e.
For example in Marital status if one choose married they Automatically cannot
choose SEPARATED or SINGLE or vise versa

Insert each of the check boxes that you want to behave in an exclusive
fashion into a table cell and then have a macro containing the following
code run on entry to each of those checkboxes

Dim oField As FormField
For Each oField In Selection.Cells(1).Range.FormFields
oField.CheckBox.Value = False
Next oField
Selection.FormFields(1).CheckBox.Value = True

I do not understand how to to it, but that is because I am new to Form
design. May be as I get more prctice it will make sense.

No, it is not my full time job. More like and addiction. However, most of
what I know I have learnt by finding out how to do things to help other
people.
