I can do it in Access, I can do it in Excel, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make a combo box in MS Word 2000.

I've got my "Control Toolbox" up.
I select the "Combo Box" and put it on my screen.

My question now is how in the world do I assign values to this.

Say my combo box is named "Car Type".
Well I'd like the values to be "Mustang, Camaro, Firebird".

In ThisDocument...

Paste This...

Private Sub Document_New()
ComboBox1.AddItem ("camaro")
ComboBox1.AddItem ("mustang")
ComboBox1.AddItem ("firbird")
End Sub

Goodluck Sometimes... the BASIC things in life are the best...

or at least the most fun ;-)

Thank you, you are the greatest.

I've looked through the help file on MS Word for some time and could find no mention of how to use the thing other than dragging it on to your desk top.

Thanks again.

Actually I still can't get it to work.

Could you email me a simple word document with the above mentioned combo box so I can see exactly what is going on?

Thanks.
