Default Can I used a dropdown box to display supporting information?

Say I have a menu of six different salads which I want to give the user the
opportunity to select using a drop down box. While making their choice it
would be great if I could display the ingredients of each salad as the cursor
crossed over the item in the drop down box. I see the option for macros but
I'm not sure how I would use it in this instance.

Hi ?B?V2FsdA==?=,

Say I have a menu of six different salads which I want to give the user the
opportunity to select using a drop down box. While making their choice it
would be great if I could display the ingredients of each salad as the cursor
crossed over the item in the drop down box. I see the option for macros but
I'm not sure how I would use it in this instance.

Word's form fields don't support displaying a screen tip. The "Add Help" feature
would allow you to put this information in the Status bar, however... (no macro
required)
