Default drop down boxes in Word

I have created a simple word document. I created a drop down box using the
Forms toolbar. I entered the list of items I wanted the drop down bar to
show in the Drop Down Form Field Options. When I exit, I just have a
grayed-in area only showing the first entry, and there isn't anything to
click on to choose the other other entries. There is no drop down box arrow,
just a gray field with my first entry. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

You have to protect the document for forms; then when you tab into the form
field, the arrow will be displayed.
