This tutorial is going to show you how to easily create a simple drop down list in Word.
Step # 1 — Accessing the Developer Tab

how to increase the horizontal width of this drop down box? thanks
Thank you so much.
When I click file, I didnt see the option menu
Can you make multiple that change all when u change one? I have a doc where I have to change the date on every page.
thank you
Hi! Thank you. Could you also tell me how can I do that only the value must be written onto the document. At the moment only the name is written onto document not the value. I do not even understand why do we have an option like that. If they differ only the name would be written, which is not good. In this tutorial it is not differ, so no problem, but in other cases when you codes etc. which is hard to memorize it would be good when you choose a name, and it makes the value to be written, not the name.
Thank you

Is there a way to create an editable "other" option in the drop down? I want it so that when you select "other" you can manually type in the value.
