See the following page of Greg Maxey's website:

If it's an ActiveX combobox that you haved inserted directly into the
document, right click on it and select View Code and use code such as

Private Sub ComboBox1_GotFocus()
With ComboBox1
.Clear
.AddItem "myfirstitem"
.AddItem "myseconditem"
'etc
.AddItem "mylastitem
End WIth
End Sub

If it is a Content Control, select it and click on the Properties button
in the Developer tab of the Ribbon and you can add the items into the
Content Control Properties dialog that appears.
