Default dropdown box in table?

Hi,

Is there any way that I can setup a dropdown box for a Word table, such that
only a limited set of values can be inserted into a column.

Regards
Bo Rasmussen

If this is a protected form, you can use a dropdown form field. If you don't
want to protect the document, you can use an AutoTextList field, but this
will not prevent users from overwriting the field to enter a different
value.

For information on forms, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

For information on AutoTextList fields, see
