How to use checkboxes in an unprotected form?

[Charles Kenyon]

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.

Is there a way to do the same thing using drop down boxes?

Not without extensive vba and using controls from the controls toolbox.
However, you may want to look into the AutoTextList field.
