Can you set a Word DropDown Content Control to allow free text entry?

I have an application where I provide a Drop-Down list Content Control in a Word document.  

Is there a way to set the control so it will accept free text entries not included on the drop-down list, yet still keep the CC in place?  

The only approach I can think of is to have the user manually delete the CC then type the text they want in its place.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, I have used both types of CCs.  This question is a few month old so I'll have to remember why I thought it had to be a dropdown.  I like your suggestion if so.
Thanks again
