What type of dropdown list? If it's a Content Control Drop-Down list, click
on the Design Mode button and then right click on the Control and select
Properties and then the Content Control Properties dialog will appear and in
the bottom section of the dialog there is an "Add" button that opens a
dialog into which you can enter the item to be displayed (and a
corresponding value if you have a reason for using it)

If it's a drop down from the Legacy Tools collection, right click on the
control and select properties and add the item via the Drop-Down Form Field
Options dialog that appears.

I can't think of a good reason for using the third type of control - an
ActiveX Control.
