Default Inserting a drop down menu field

I would like to create a drop-down menu in Word 2003 with objects or pictures
as the choices instead of text. Is this possible?

You can't literally have pictures in the dropdown, only text is
allowed there. But if you save the pictures as AutoText entries, you
can have a dropdown that contains the names of the entries; selecting
one inserts the picture in place of the dropdown.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...toTextList.htm for
instructions.
