How do I create a drop down list in word 2003?
Use a DropDown Formfield if you want it in a document itself. Use a combo
box on a UserForm if you want it on a custom dialog.

Insert each of the check boxes that you want to behave in an exclusive
fashion into a table cell and then have a macro containing the following code run on entry to each of those checkboxes Dim oField As FormField For Each oField In Selection.Cells(1).Range.FormFields oField.CheckBox.Value = False Next oField Selection.FormFields(1).CheckBox.Value = True -- Hope this helps.

I do not understand how to to it, but that is because I am new to Form
design. May be as I get more prctice it will make sense. On another topic:- What Is a WORD/MICROSOFT MVP? Is this your full time Job?

See the article "What do I do with macros sent to me by other newsgroup
readers to help me out?" at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...eateAMacro.htm No, it is not my full time job. More like and addiction. However, most of what I know I have learnt by finding out how to do things to help other people. -- Hope this helps.
