Default Multiple item entry into Drop Down Lists

First I'm using Word 2007 which I should have mentioned in the first post. I
managed to work out most of this but I'm still short on getting the data
entered. I have the text field form established but can't seem to get the
data inserted. Since I did this with 2007 I did it similar but not
necessarily the same as the 2002 instructions. Is there something I've
missed or done incorrectly?

If you're using dropdown form fields, you can't add more than 25 items,
either one at a time or in groups. The workaround is to make a userform
containing a combo box or a list box, and display the userform on entry to a
text form field. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306258.

a way to add them all at one entry, a copy and paste approach, or do
I have do each one as a separate add?
