I have been using drop down form fields in Word 2000 and 2003 without any
issues. Generally speaking, to activate the form fields I would click
"protect" form button and and select any item that I wanted in all the drop
down field that were on the document and once done I would click the protect
form again to make the selection stick so to speak.

Now in Word 2007 when I open my documents, I see where the drop down form
fields are and I can create more (in the ribbon, under Developer tab and
under controls by using "legacy").

The problem is that I cannot find any way to activate these form fields to
pick an item in the drop down list. The protect form button on the ribbon
does not activate these drop down fields.

Please someone advise,
Thanks,
