Can I cut and paste a list into here to use as a drop down on a form? Or do I
have to type in each item separately? Also, I was limited to 25 items,(in
MS2003) is that the same in 2007?

With the Legacy FormField DropDown, you are still limited to 25 Entries,
though you can add them programmatically using vba code such as

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
With .FormFields("DropDown1")
For i = 1 To 10
.DropDown.ListEntries.Add "Item" & i
Next i
End With
.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields
End With

Take a look at the following page of fellow MVP Greg Maxey's website for
tips on using the new Content Controls instead
