Default Drop downs in form not working

Note that the recent versions of Greg Maxey's add-in does *not* make use
of AutoText, as explained in the (updated) article.

Unfortunately, Word 2007 doesn't have check box content controls (an
omission that the Word team heard loud and clear and rectified in Word
2010). You can use MacroButton check boxes (see
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_p...document.html),
but those require a template (for AutoText) and enabling macros, so they
aren't really practical in most cases.

In this case, a better option is probably to go with legacy form fields
entirely. There's nothing comparable to a Rich Text content control, and
you do have to protect the document for forms, but at least it will work.
