Default Calendars in form fields

In Word, is it possible to create a drop down menu showing a calendar from
which a date can be picked? eg on MS Project if you click on a date field a
drop down menu appears and from it a date in future months or past months can
be selected.

Word 2007 has a "Date Picker" content control that can easily be inserted
into a document.

In that case, you could create a userform on which you could have a Date
Picker Control.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:

I've managed to get the pop up calendar to work in Excel & Word but everytime
I open them it adds a new Insert Date to the context menu. Have followed VBA
code but still cant get it to work. If I use the delete command in the
Immediate window that works but the same command dosen't seem to work in the
Workbook_BeforeClose section. I'm getting frustrated!!!
