Default Can I create dependent drop down boxes in Word 2003?

I would not try to do this with drop down formfields as used in a protected
document as the address, usually being a multiline affair, cannot be handled
with a drop down formfield.

While it is not impossible to do it with the use of formfields in a
protected document, it would be better to do it with a user form. For the
basics of that, see the article "How to create a Userform" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm

To see how to do the dependent combobox thing with a userform, see:

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8e871205297827

That URL needs to be all on one line, so watch for line breaks.

I'd like to create a form that my employees where first choose someone's
name
(or business name) from a drop down box, then have that choice prompt
another
drop down list showing all of the addresses for that business. Is it
possible to do that in Word- I've only been able to make single drop down
boxes.
