Drop down lists in Word 2000
Hi. I will admit to being just a basic user of Word. I now need to get a
little bit more involved. I need to create some forms that I will send to the involved people via email. I am in the process of creating a home inspection form. I want to use some drop down lists that give a few choices to choose from. The help system seems to be fairly straightforward. I am in the process of creating a new template. I inserted a drop down list form where I wanted it to be and then put in the various choices. When I hit OK, all I get is a gray box with the first choice in it, which is OK, but there is no down arrow from which to make a different choice if the default choice isn't correct. Can anyone tell me what I should do to get the drop down list box to appear? Thanks very much for your help. |
