I need to create a pull down menu with the capability of allowing the user to
selecting one or more of the listed options. Can this be done in Word 2007? |

If you mean adding a pulldown onto the ribbon, see the following page of
fellow MVP Greg Maxey's website http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm If you mean within a particular document, go to the Developer tab of the ribbon and then from the Controls section, insert a ComboBox Content Control. To add the items to the list, click on the Design Mode button and then right click on the Content Control and select Properties. -- Hope this helps.

Hi Doug,
I'm a rookier here. Yes, I need to create this in a Word document. OK, I went to Developer, inserted a comboBox. It automatically highlighted the Design Mode button. I don't know what you mean by Centent Contro. Is that another function icon I should see. If I double click on the inserted ComboBox it brings up a code box. Am I in the right place?

Looking at it again, it does not seem to matter if you are in the design
mode or not as in either mode, you can use the Properties button under the Design Mode button to display the Content Control Properties dialog. You add the items to the list using the Add button in that dialog. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

create pull down menu to select multiple options
Hi Doug,
There is no Add button in the properties popup. I see 2 tabs; one titled Alphabetic and the 2nd titled Categorized. In the Alphabetic tab I see a 2 column table with the header (Name) and ComboBox1. Under Name I see about 39 parameters and their values under the ComboBox1 header. The Categorized Tab has subsections titled Appearance, Behavior, Data, Font and Misc. So where do I find the Add button??

You have inserted an ActiveX combo box, rather than a Content Control combo
box. Here are the steps to follow: 1 Go to the Developer tab of the Ribbon 2. In the Controls section of the Developer Tab, click on the Combo Box item (it is the fourth one from the left and if you let the mouse hover over it, the screen tip "Insert a combo box content control" will appear. 3. Click on the Properties icon in the Controls section 4. A Content Contol Properties dialog will appear. The Add button is in the Drop-Down List Properties section of the dialog. -- Hope this helps.

create pull down menu to select multiple options
Hi Doug,
I did what you said but it still will not allow me to select more than one choice. I need to be able to offer my users the ability to choose multiple choices from the drop down box. Any other ideas??
