Default Select more than one item in a Word form's drop-down list?

Hi all,
I would like to create a form letter in Word that includes a way for users
to select more than one item from a drop-down list or a pop-up list. Any
suggestions please? Thank you!

AFAIK, no - the purpose of the List is to limit the user to one item. If you
want users to select multiple items you might consider using checkboxes or
more than one list.

You would have to use a UserForm with a multi-select listbox.
Something this:

Create a userform with a listbox to contain names and a command button.
In the docucment template incorporate a bookmark "Names" where you
want the selection of names to appear. Populate the list of names
using the Userform initialize event. Insert the selected names at the
bookmark using the command button click event.


Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With Me.ListBox1
.AddItem "Bill"
.AddItem "Joe"
.AddItem "Tom"
.AddItem "Mary"
End With
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim pNames As String
Dim i As Long
pNames = ""
With Me.ListBox1
For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Selected(i) Then
pNames = pNames & .List(i) & ", "
End If
Next i
End With
pNames = Left(pNames, Len(pNames) - 2) 'Strip off last comma and space.
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Names").Range.InsertAfte r pNames
Unload Me
End Sub
