I am new visual basic, I want to add a combo box to a word document, so that
a user can select from a drop-down menu, I used to use office 2000 and
entered the values I wanted. Upgraded to Office XP, when I add the values I
want to appear, nothing happened. Please help!!!

Don't mess with anything on the Controls Toolbar until you know what you are
doing with vba. These are programming controls. You can put a drop-down menu
in your document using the Forms toolbar. Start with that. This is what Word
calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms,
follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm.

Hope this helps,

Something like:

Sub AutoNew()
Dim myCB As ComboBox
Set myCB = ThisDocument.myCB
With myCB
.Clear
.AddItem "A"
.AddItem "B"
.AddItem "etc."
End With
End Sub

and in and AutoOpen macro.
