How do I enable intellisence for dropdown lists in Word 2003?

I'm using several dropdown lists and would like the user to be able to enter
the first letter of a value in the list and go directly to that value. How
do I do this?

control?

You cannot type directly in a dropdown form field.
However, if you click on it, you will get the list to drop down, then you
can use the keyboard to go directly to the first item corresponding to the
letter typed on the keyboard.

Thank you. I was hoping there would be a way for the user to tab and type,
but it sounds like they will need to tab, click, and type.

Thanks for the response!

Or, to save a step, just click and type!
