Whilst I can appreciate some of the answers that are provided to similar
questions already posted, they are provided in such a technical way that
they
are of little use to an everyday user. Please is there not a simple way to
explain how to create a drop down list within word for text options only.
I
am able to create the list of choices in VB, but when I save and return to
the word document, the choices are not visible. I have attached a small
sample
Private Sub TitleList()
With ComboBox1
.Clear
.AddItem "Mr"
.AddItem "Mrs"
.AddItem "Miss"
.AddItem "Unknown"
.ListIndex = -1
End With
End Sub
