Default create a combo box

I've tried searching this forum but can't find the answer I need. I'm using
Word 2003 and working on a .dot document. I have a drop-down form field
however the list has grown to 21 and I need to "upgrade" to a Combo Box. I
can't understand them at all! They're certainly not like Access Combo Boxes
because if they were I'd not be posting this.

After inserting a Combo Box what's the next step? How in the world do I
create a list and have it display in the combo box?

Thanks for your help!
