Is it possible to multiselect from the drop down box choices.

No.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,

Is it possible to multiselect from the drop down box choices.

Hi RFF,

No, but you can multiselect from a listbox control. Perhaps this can be of
any use.

Insert with View | Toolbars Control Toolbox | List Box (verify that its
name is ListBox1).
Click the Exit Design Mode - button.
Populate and set multiselect with the AutoOpen macro in your document:

Record any macro, say record clicking the B-button on the Formatting
toolbar, and be sure to choose your document under 'Store macro in'.
Choose Tools | Macro Macro's..., select your macro and choose Edit. The
VBA-editor opens.
Replace the entire macro by the following:

Sub AutoOpen()
With Me.ListBox1
.AddItem "abc"
.AddItem "def"
.AddItem "ghi"
.MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectMulti
End With
End Sub

Close the VBA editor. In Word: save, close and re-open your document.

Good luck,
Cooz
