For MS Word 2003, in using the "Forms Drop Down List" is it possible for the
forms users to make "multiple" selections instead of just one selection from
the pull down list? If not, what is the best 'work around' for this?


No, the dropdown form field is not capable of multiple selection. (And
if it did allow multiple selections, how would you propose to show the
results when the dropdown is closed?)

The only alternative is to create a userform
(http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Create_and...a_UserForm.htm) and put a
list box on it; set the value of the list box's MultiSelect property
to fmMultiSelectExtended. You still need to decide how you want to
display the selected values in the document.
