In the form I am creating, I would like to be able to select one item in a
drop down box up to all items.

The dropdown form field can't do that. There's no way to force it.

What you can do is create a userform (custom dialog) in the macro editor, and a
macro to display the userform that you select as the entry macro for a text form
field. On the userform, place a list box containing the choices; this kind of
list box allows you to configure it for multiple selections.

After the user selects one or more items in the list, what do you want to do
with them? Should they be shown in the document, or do you plan to do something
else?
