In this video, we’ll be showing you how to create a drop-down list in Word.
Drop-down lists force the user to select an option from a list that you made beforehand. If you want a user to fill out a form, or create drop-down lists for any other reason, we’ll show you how to do it! Let’s create a drop-down list in this document.
1. Go to File – Options – Customize Ribbon, and check the Developer box.
2. Go to the Developer tab at the top and click the Drop-Down List Content Control button.
3. Click Properties at the top.
4. Change the title. You can also change the design and color here.
5. Remove the default list item and Add the ones you would like the user to choose from.
6. Hit OK.
7. To change the watermark text, click Design Mode at the top.
8. In Design Mode, you can also delete the content control by selecting it and pressing Delete or Backspace.
We now a content control with a drop-down list!

Box is greyed out, not active, people can enter text but I wanted to offer a drop down list of options
so much more helpful than google, I got it the first time! Thank you!
I would like to create a drop-down to a script that gives several options for answers as the script develops. Each drop-down may have a script of disclosures to provide the client with information to fill up an application.
Do you have a tutorial for inserting a drop down Calander?
Excellent video. So happy I managed to create the drop-down list, but cannot move it to the right. How do I do that?
ridiculous that you have to enter one by one
My word doesn't have an "options"
Great video to the point perfect!
Sweet & Short, Straight to the Point Thanks!!!
Thanks, very helpful. Glad you kept the video short!
Thanks for the tutorial. I am creating a document with this feature. Is there a way to only protect the dropdown contents while leaving the rest of the document able to be edited? For instance, beneath the dropdown in the table, I want a user to be able to type notes. When the 'protect form' lock is turned on, I can no longer edit or add anything to the document. I have several users who will be accessing the form- and not everyone is technically savvy to know how to enable/disable the lock. I'd like for them to be able to use the dropdowns by still be able to add their own custom, free-form notes specific to their needs.
Hi, How to add more items once we have created the drop down content control ? and how to re use it in new documents ?
Hi i want to make drop down list but i have 3 or 4 different thing to fill in the document which depends from my first choise. Can we add drop down list from excel?
Hi there, can I have a dropdown list from a list of numbers that I can choose from without adding those options…. for example, selecting between 1 to 200…
Thank you!
That didn’t work. Do you have an updated video
Is there a way to create a list allowing the user to make multiple selections rather than just one?
Hi there，thanks for teaching such a good idea！While，I am wondering if I can do the same thing in Google doc by using extention or something else？
