Default Creating Forms

I want to create a short survey with answer choices from a drop-down menu. I
found the Forms toolbar, but clicking on the Drop-Down button just inserts a
gray box. When I start typing, the type goes to the right of the gray box,
leaving the gray box empty, and not creating the drop-down feature. What am
I doing wrong?

Default Creating Forms

You have to populate the dropdown. Double-click on the form field to open
the Form Field Options dialog and add each item you want to be on the list.
Then you must protect the form in order to use the form fields.
