Default MS Word "Forms Drop Down List"

The following reply was posted through the NNTP newsgroup interface on Nov 6
but was not copied tot he Web interface as it should have been.

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.

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?
