I want to create a label with drop down field options. The only way I can see
to do this would be in a table and change the text direction but I can't
change it once a drop down field is there.

Has anyone any ideas PLEASE?????

I just tested this. If I change the text direction before inserting the
formfield - no problem. If the formfield is inserted first, make sure that
the formfield is NOT selected when you go to change the direction.

I've tried that before and it doesn't work. I'm using Word 2003 if that makes
a difference. If I put the drop down field in first, and right click AFTER
the field, a warning message appears stating the field will be ignored and
not displayed. If I change the text direction first, it won't give me the
option to enter a drop down field.
HELP!!!!

Sorry, I guess all I tried with was a text formfield. Given the messages
that are displayed when you try to do this, I would say that it is not
possible.
