Word 2007 - Drop Down Menu
Thanks this is a great help.
Now, though, as I try to insert the drop down menu it says " Drop-down list controls cannot be inserted around the current selectioni." Does this have something to do with how I have set up the document. It won't let me insert it anywhere.

Word 2007 - Drop Down Menu
How do you have the document setup?
Is it a document that was originally created in an earlier version of Word - Do the words "[Compatibility Mode]" appear in the top border to the right of the file name? You cannot use the controls of that type if that is the case. If you start a new document, can you insert the drop down? -- Hope this helps.
