Awesome video. I do Building INspections and my problem is that I am unable to use the values from the same drop-down multiple times within the same cell of the table in MS Word. Can you kindly suggest any solution to this. If you have any video on this, kindly refer me to that please. I give you an example of my problem. I go to inspect a house and I find a defeat. So to define that defect in few different ways, I have values in my drop down. With normal drop down list, you can only use one value at a time from the same drop down menu. However, If I am able to use that same drop down menu to populate the same cell, with multiple value from the drop down menu, that will will make my life easy and less prone to other legal issues I may face.
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.
@@ThatSavvySpecialEducator I get involved in so many little tech requests like this for work, I'm having a hard time remembering what project this was. But if I seem to recall, I abandoned this idea and decided to use Excel instead and use data validation/lists instead of using Word.
Does anyone know if the completed drop down list can be copy and pasted somewhere else? I am working on a schedule for employees and want to just copy it to another area of the form Im creating. If I create the list again it will take 30-40 min as there is a lot of info on that list.
If you click on the drop down you wish to copy, it will give you a grey outline with the name top left and drop down on the right, when you have this, press Ctrl + C, move your cursor to where you wish to copy and press Ctrl + V
Hey, I made a table, created the drop down in one cell, then clicked in the cell so the contents were highlighted (you get a grey box with little tabs top and bottom if the dropdown is selected), pressed Ctrl + C to copy it, highlighted the other cells I wanted the drop down in and pressed Ctrl + V to paste. It worked fine and you could then set the table line colour to the same as your document background if you wanted to hide the lines. You can also select the Table Design tab at the top when the table is selected, on the right section, Borders, select Pen Colour, choose the colour you want then move over the table where the lines you want to reinstate are, you will get an outline when you are over the "invisible" line, click and hey presto, back again.
I think the closest is the drop down Date Picker, to use it follow the same instructions, just choose the Date Picker icon instead of the List Control . On my copy it is in the controls group and the 8th item from the top left.
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?
Yes, you can insert an Excel sheet from the Insert menu in Word but I would advise using Excel, saving the document then Importing it into your Word document via the File menu. This is because the embedded Excel function in Word presents a bare bones menu system at the top and the other menus are all reduced to small square icons which can be fiddly to navigate.
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.

Is there a way to create a list allowing the user to make multiple selections rather than just one?
That is the Combo Box control found to the left of the Drop Down control in the tutorial.
Excellent video. So happy I managed to create the drop-down list, but cannot move it to the right. How do I do that?
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？
Thank You😇😇😊😊😊
Great video to the point perfect!
Thank you for the material
Hi, How to add more items once we have created the drop down content control ? and how to re use it in new documents ?
Thank you!

Did you ever figure this out?

Is there a way to copy and paste the boxes so I can use them in multiple parts of the document?

Do you have a tutorial for inserting a drop down Calander?

That didn’t work. Do you have an updated video

Use Excel to create the Table and then import it into you document, this is much easier for certain tasks, this one is an example.
استاذ هل يمكن عمل قائمه منسدله في الوورد لا تسمح بتكرار اختيارات ارجوا الرد
Box is greyed out, not active, people can enter text but I wanted to offer a drop down list of options
My word doesn't have an "options"
ridiculous that you have to enter one by one
