Nope...doesn't sound like you're missing anything.
I just tried the same thing...and it worked for me. Are you sending it
as an attachment or what?
If you want, you can send me your DOT and I'll take a look to make
sure it is right. This is a bit baffling???? You can send it to me at
. Just pls be sure to remind me of this conversation
as I get lots of requests each day and want to make sure to catch this
one.

Okay, well what you are saying isn't making sense. If you created the
properly, they WILL travel with the document with no problem. So
please describe EXACTLY what you did to add them to your document and
how you went about adding the items to the drop down.

I created a new document, entered text and then clicked on the drop-down form field button from the forms control menu.
Then right clicking on the field to update the properties I add 4 menu
items. I did not enter any macro info and the box is checked for drop-down
enabled. I then clicked o.k.
I clicked on the lock to protect the document and saved it as a .dot file.
To test I create a new document using the .dot file as my template. I choose
an option in the drop down box and then click on the envelope to email the
document to myself. I do not receive any option in the drop down field.
Is there something I'm missing?
TIA
