A combo box is an ActiveX control, inserted from the Controls Toolbox. These
controls are really intended for UserForms and not documents. There are also
list box controls, and there is a dropdown list form field on the Forms
toolbar. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
