Can I add a drop down box to a slide in powerpoint 2007?

Hi, does anyone know if I can do this? I want a child to be able to put their
name in a certificate.
Thanks

Bree,
You will need to activate the control toolbox toolbar, View - Toolbars -
Control Toolbox - click on the combobox tool and draw one on your slide.
That is the easy part, then you need some VBA to populate the box.
Here's a link to a thread covering that subject with some sample code by

I am confused. I teach 4th grade and have used control text boxes in my
presentations so that the kids could input text during the slideshow mode. I
have upgraded to Office 2007 but can't find a control toolbox anywhere in the
program- when I saw this post I thougt my problems were solved- I just don't
see where I can get that control toolbox toolbar to come up-
HELP!
