[MisterQ]

Is it possible to have a drop down selection in word, such as Data Validation / "List" is Excel?

Welcome to Eileen's Lounge!

Make sure that the Developer tab of the ribbon is displayed. If not:
- Select File > Options.
- Select Customize Ribbon.
- Tick the check box for Developer in the list of Main Tabs on the right.
- Click OK.

Activate the Developer tab of the ribbon.
There are two relevant buttons in the Controls group:

A combo box control lets you select an item from a list, but also enter text yourself. A drop-down list control only allows items from the list.

Place on of these controls.
Click in the control, then click Properties in the Controls group.
Give the control a title.
Near the bottom of the dialog, in the Drop-Down List Properties section, click Add...
You can specify a display name and an underlying value (by default, the two will be the same).

Click OK to add the item to the list, then repeat as needed.
