Drop down menu in a table cell
Donna 21.07.2006 19:28:01
Would someone please tell me where I go in Word 2007 to create a drop down
menu in a table cell? Thank you very much.

This has nothing to do with a cell. Where ever you are in the documents, it
is always the same:

Either you use a form (which needs to be protected for the drop down to
work)
For a complete tutorial on these, see:

Part 3: Learn more VBA (macros) to automate your forms.

Part 4: Use custom dialog boxes in your Word forms

Part 5: Connect your AutoForm to a database to save input time
and keep better records!

....or use ActiveX controls (Control Toolbox toolbar), which can be difficult
to handle, especially with later version of Word where the security has been
increased quite a lot.

In Word 2007, click on the Developer tab and then go to the Controls chunk
of the ribbon.

Ouch!

Thanks, I had missed that vital piece of the puzzle (Word 2007 that is...)!
