Drop-Down List vs. VBA Macro - Microsoft Word
I have a MS Word 2003 document that I want to insert drop-down menus into - I can't password protect because the document needs to remain complete flexible (the 'free form text" fields used with the "form" function is too limiting for our users). Is there any way to insert drop-down menus without password-protecting/lockin g the document?
If there isn't, is there a simple VBA macro that I can use to create a drop-down menu (with as little as 2 options, and as many as 65 options) in a basic word document?

I'm not familiar with any such add-ins - my instinct is to do-it-myself.
It sounds like a fairly simple task. You could consider a bespoke solution. Some experts here will take on that sort of thing for payment. As individuals we are not permitted to solicit for such work, but any experts who do will have direct contact details in their profiles.

Our document has to remain mostly a basic word document, so users can change headings, add formatting, attachments, etc. as they like – out of 15 pages, there are only about 10-15 drop-down lists that we need. Is there any other method/tool out there (maybe that works as an add-on to Word) that we can use?
