Can I insert choices (a drop down list) within a Word doc

[dcissell]

I'd like to insert a drop down list into an invoice designed in Word. This
list would include specific choices for the "Description" field in the
invoice. I've tried using a table, but can't find a way to filter or
otherwise choose only one item from a specific list of choices. In Excel I'd
just use the filter option.

Excel would definitely be better for an invoice. Try the invoice download at
www.officearticles.com/downloads , but if you want a drop-down in Word,
check this out:

You can use a dropdown list form field, but this would require that you
protect your document for forms (which might work well or not). For another
option, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm
