Default Dropdown for Combobox

A dropdown form field does not appear correctly until the document is
protected for forms.

Suzanne, yes this is a combobox. When you click on the arrow to the right

it
should open the dropdown list. I'm unclear as to how to add this listed
information. I tried using the dropdown form field and this doesn't look

the
way I need it to look. When using the dropdown form field it will allow

me
to add the items however oncee I have completed my list it looks like a

grey
line and not a combobox .

Did you add each item as a single entry? And, just to clarify, is this

in
fact a Dropdown form field from the forms toolbar or a Combo Box from

the
Controls Toolbox?

Thanks Graham, how once I have done that it places all of my items on

a
single line and not a drop down. Do I need to change something else?

With the form unlocked, right click the field and select properties.

Add
the
entries from that dialog.
